Who took successful distance courses on Ruby on rails?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I ask for advice from people who have taken distance courses and have benefited from them. For several months I studied on my own using books and tutorials, but I didn’t manage to achieve the position of junior-a, due to the reasons of combining it with a highly loaded job. The requirements and approaches of employers vary, and knowledge is overwritten during constant rushes from technology to technology. An intensive course is needed, where all the necessary basic material will be structured and provided with applied practice, preferably a long full-fledged course. There are many courses, but most of them are simply disgusting reviews. I hope not for skepticism and your sense of humor, but for the advice of experienced specialists who have gone through training. Thank you for attention.

Answer 1

I hope I'm not too late with the answer, but I think www.thinknetica.com is what you need. I am currently taking these courses myself. And after them, the Rails environment is at ease.
These courses + half a year of intensive practice and you can safely qualify for middle.

Answer 2

Tinknetica alternative goodprogrammer.ru/rails-winter-17
No less intense ;)
Reviews: rubycourses.ru/courses/161

Answer 3

Isn't it easier with Java and Android development?

Easier. Ror is quite a niche technology for prototyping. ruby seniors are needed to maintain the codebase, or in companies with ruby ​​backgrounds, adoption in new projects should decrease.

Answer 4

At the moment, the coolest course is www.thinknetica.com/.
there is also a hack and rails course for beginners, also very cool,
but the advanced rails course is INCREDIBLE!

Answer 5

I can answer from the other side, from the side of the one who conducts these courses. Recently, we have begun to train everyone who wants to find a new employee. The first course was based on my personal experience, the second, which we are starting, is based on the analysis of beginners' problems - we have identified about 50 standard mistakes / questions that every beginner has.
Chat with the authors of the courses, ask how they solve your problem. As a rule, to get a job as an intern, Hartle's tutorial and one simple application written by yourself are enough.
If you have good experience with good PHP frameworks, then you can get into the jun. It may actually be easier to get experience in another technology and then find an intensive that will help you quickly transition.

Answer 6

Let me summarize the topic. I did listen to most of the recommendations and took a course on Thinknetica. Of course, as the creator of the topic and a person who has not heard anything about this course before, I am absolutely open-minded and incorruptible) The course is excellent. I spent a long time fiddling with textbooks and tutorials on my own, but taking this course I learned how to think and work as a RoR developer: plan the application structure, write tests, get acquainted with a bunch of useful features. If before the course I could not find an internship, then according to the results, I immediately got an adequate salary. I definitely recommend.
