Experienced Ruby on Rails developers are getting more expensive and harder to find all the time. If you need to keep that Rails back-end updated and ready for anything your iOS apps throw at it, you need to learn a little more than the Rails basics. That's where this workshop steps in to fill in the gaps for iOS developers.

Our Rails for iOS Developers Workshop is laser focused on helping you and your iOS developers get your responsive website/webapp up and running, or keep your existing infrastructure updated and running smoothly, using the powerful Ruby on Rails framework, from creation to deployment, in straight-forward, easy to follow steps.

You need this workshop if you are

Building a corporate/product website for your iOS app
Authenticating or authorizing users
POSTing data back to the server
Aggregating and analyzing activity on your mobile application
Providing an API to external applications to allow integration to your mobile solution
Improving your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) by providing an integrated marketing web site or blog
Speeding up the initial Ruby on Rails learning curve by spending a weekend in a coding bootcamp

Highly recommend Rails for iOS course (@wndxlori one of the instructors). Lots of content, very interactive. Very well done.

I had a great time at the class. I learned a lot and am already using Ruby in my day to day job (I wrote a bunch of scripts to link together various FTP updates, etc!).

ROR4Real is a great way to get a huge head start with Ruby on Rails. Working along side the instructors in irb was my favourite part - it was great asking a question and seeing how someone experienced approached it. My ruby definitely became much more idiomatic in just 2 days.
Michael Sikorsky @killingmichael

ROR4Real was a great first-hand look at how real Rails apps get developed. The emphasis on idiomatic Ruby and the Rails way, combined with the expert advice and hands-on experience, made me much more comfortable in Ruby and helped me better understand the "magic" of Rails. ROR4Real was a valuable boost up the Rails learning curve and has definitely saved me a great deal of time and frustration.
