About

Airbnb is a series of 3 Projects (Pikachu, Kong, Godzilla) with 3 different levels (Level 1, 2, 3). We are going to build a platform like Airbnb.


In this Airbnb project, I will walk you through steps to develop apps like Airbnb with core functionalities from scratch. You don't need to learn everything about HTML, CSS, Javascript or Ruby on Rails to just create a web application. In my methodology which I called POA (Product-Oriented-Approach), you just need to learn what you need. Doing this way, it won't make you a superstar developer but will get you something REAL quickly and efficiently, especially for Entrepreneurs & Founders.

Who It's For

  • Beginners

  • Promotion seekers

  • Entrepreneurs & Founders

  • Designers

  • Front-end Developers

What skills will we learn during this Level 1?

  • How to quickly create a web app with Ruby on Rails.

  • Style your web app easily and quickly with Bootstrap.

  • Design your UI like a modern style using in AirBnb.

  • Use Facebook to authenticate your users.

  • How to send transactional emails with Gmail/Mailgun.

  • How to create Object models for a business idea.

  • Handle photo uploading process with AJAX.

  • Process searching function with different criteria.

  • Handle location searching on Google Map.

  • Handle jQuery event for UI controls.

What features will we build in this Level 1?

  • Simple authentication with email/password.

  • Advanced authentication with Facebook.

  • Sending transactional email when new user signed up.

  • Page for users to edit Profile

  • Page for hosts to create/edit Room

  • Photos Upload to AWS S3.

  • Room reservation system with Start Date, End Date.

  • Room searching system with different criteria.

  • Functions Allow Hosts to Create Rooms in Steps.

  • 2-way Review System.

  • AJAX Searching.

Requirement

All I ask for is to pass the Free course "Learn Ruby on Rails, Heroku and Wistia APIs" with the understanding of how Rails works. That's it.

    as icchy says, it's more of watching how Leo types over his shoulder. Not much explanation on why codes were typed.

  • F1b4ad2cb312617fdfd5217298e5782b

    It is like just a typing codes. No explanation about others.

    Part 1 is probably better than part 2 in my opinion. You get a lot of real nuggets that are useful to understand web development.

    Isaac Gonzalez

    It was cool, maybe a little more explanation in some parts, for eg. how can I link all the rooms with the same calendar? So a user can't schedule a room 1 if room 2 already took those days. For some business ideas, this can be useful.

    So far so good! Proving invaluable for getting my business idea off the ground. I'm going back and filling the gaps in my rails knowledge too. Obviously Leo can't cover absolutely everything, and this combination of building a real site with Leo and then studying specific topics on my own is working fantastically.

    Probably the best "tutorial" I have seen so far. What this delivers that others lack is a holistic methodology to build a real application in rails. As someone who is new to rails specifically, I was happy that the code worked as written on the tutorial which shows a commitment to delivering a quality product. Thanks for everything.

    Once again, Leo and the Code4Startup Team have hit it out of the park. "Air Pikachu", the first installment in the AirBnB clone series is well presented, easy to follow, and done well. The first lessons from Code4Startup were done very well and this series raises the already high bar of excellence. Well done guys!

    Hi Trieu, It is great. I I just completed Airbnb1, and now as a Kickstarter backer, I can connect to Airbnb2. But one question that I found from Airbnb1 and Airbnb2 also. That is: HOW I ADD A SECOND LANGUAGE OPTION to the AirBnb2? For Example Default one is English and the other is Vietnamese? What changes to the Views!? MANY THANKS

    A very well-designed course, and Leo is an awesome teacher! He manages to keep me engaged and motivated throughout. By the end of the course, my confidence has also soared! Thanks Leo, you deserve more than 5 stars.

    Hi Leo, Great Course. I started loving Ruby. Just one question about AirBnd2... I saw your campaign on Kickstarter. So the course will be released and hosted at code4startup.com or at kickstarter!? Thanks

    In this course, Leo is not only teaching you how to code in a pragmatic and tangible way, but for the many non-tech founders out there, like myself, who wish to start a startup to improve this world Leo empowers you to do so. Thank you, Leo, you are allowing me to fulfill my dreams!

    Wow. Just wow. How I dreamt of owning up this course when I didn't have the money, and eventually when I did, it didn't disappoint me, it was a double blessing. Oh, and Leo gave me a free 2 week bonus because of the Christmas holidays! WOW. I just can't recommend this enough to anyone who really wants to code hands down #*&!%.. :) Another one, Leo!

    The course itself is okay, however I find Leo's accent quite fatiguing to keep up with. For paid course its a bit outdated, since people actually pay for course, at least, course should been updated frequently. Don't be discouraged this course is GREAT, for starters. Cheers.

    Very good course. When you complete it you realize how ruby on rails works and you are able to start experimenting yourself more consciously. Just keep in mind that the Airbnb project that you will build is for educational purposes, so you need to put extra effort after the course if you want to make the project a "real life" one. Awesome anyway!

    this course is awesome but i'm still waiting the next Stretch Goals!: "Extra Advance Skill with Graph. AirBnb clone will have graph in the dashboard showing different info in different formats: Geo map, Percentage chart, bar chart."

    Hi I found the course really good. I learned alot ... it was very helpful in doing my project for college. I learned alot of everyday things that you dont learn in college (eg. facebook authentication on the site....). I recommend the course say if you need to build a website... my one was quite similar to airbnb so I am using this as a sort of template. its quite easy to follow too!!

    Simply awesome. What I love is that lots of rails topics are covered and then it's up to us to choose the ones we want to dig deeper.

    5 Star Course, the real world product cloning methodology that seems to be in vogue in todays education environment can be very hit and miss but this one is a definite hit. I think Leo hit the sweet spot between depth of subject knowledge matter and breadth of subjects covered, long may it continue.

    If you're a beginner of Ruby on Rails like me, read Michael Hartl's book and take this course. One is for your basic Rails and the other is for building real apps.
