Join this fast-paced introduction to the Ruby on Rails web framework to help you discover why GitHub, AirBnB, and Shopify trust it for their own apps. In this course, Ruby on Rails: The Big Picture, you’ll learn how Rails can empower you to build modern web applications from scratch.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll understand Ruby on Rails conventions, tools, and concepts enough to start building your own Rails application.
