About

In this project, I will walk you through steps to develop Code4Startup with full functionalities from scratch based on my own experience. You don't need to learn everything about HTML, CSS, Javascript or Ruby on Rails to just create an web app. 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 super star developer but will get you something REAL quickly and efficiently, especially for Entrepreneurs & Founders.

    As an early adopter, I need to give extra points to this project. Most "MVP's" (Minimum Viable Product) are poorly constructed and provide the minimum needed to get by. Not this course or platform. Leo has done a wonderful job of making sure the app is very usable and the lessons clear. Appropriately, this gets conveyed to the app that you will build. The instruction is clear and each lesson is easy to follow. When compared to other video based lessons, special attention was obviously paid to making sure that the view can read the code in each task... Nothing is worse than trying to learn something and not being able to clearly see or understand it ! I've been able to build a highly functional application, and thanks to the recursive nature of the tasks I was able to get used to Rails patterns and build on functionality of my own. If you're motivated to learn Rails, this is a great second project (Do Project Hero - Newbies first)

    This is a great course on building a functional app with Ruby on Rails. I can see how I can take the concepts I learned building this course to build other apps with similar behaviors.
