Description

Cryptocurrencies are all the rage right now. Wouldn't it be cool to build a website that shows Crypto news automatically? That's what we'll learn in this course!

We'll build a website using Ruby on Rails and Bootstrap that connects to a free third party crypto API.

We'll be able to pull news stories, crypto price data, and all kinds of cool stuff, and output it onto the screen of our website automatically. 

Who Should Take This Course?

This course is aimed at the beginner. You don't need to know Ruby, or the Rails framework, or Bootstrap...or anything at all...to take this course. I'll walk you through it all; step by step.  If you already know the basics of any of those things, you'll be fine too. You'll still learn some cool things along the way!

What Tools Do You Need To Take This Course?

You don't need any special tools to take this course. We'll be using a free online development environment pre-loaded with Ruby on Rails. Or you can feel free to download rails directly to your computer (if you know how) and follow along that way.

What if you don't like the course?

I offer an unconditional, 30-day Money back Guarantee.  If you aren't happy for any reason, you get your money back! No hoops to jump through at all.

What if you get stuck along the way?

I'm here answering questions everyday!  Just shoot me a message and I'll personally walk you through it. Unlike a lot of instructors here, I actually care about my students success and I spend a lot of time answering questions to make sure you understand everything.

My name is John Elder and I hope to see you on the inside!
