There are 5 modules in this course

By the end of this course, learners will be able to design, implement, optimize, test, and deploy a complete Ruby application using advanced programming and software engineering practices.

This project-based course guides learners through the full lifecycle of building an advanced Ruby application, starting from project planning and environment setup to deployment and post-deployment validation. Learners will strengthen their ability to translate requirements into business logic, apply object-oriented design principles, manage data flow and persistence, and structure applications for scalability and maintainability. The course also emphasizes clean code practices, modularization, testing strategies, refactoring, performance optimization, and security considerations. Learners benefit by gaining hands-on experience that mirrors real-world Ruby development workflows, enabling them to build production-ready applications with confidence. Unlike concept-only courses, this course integrates planning, implementation, optimization, and deployment into a single cohesive project, reinforcing practical problem-solving skills. By completing the course, learners develop job-relevant expertise in advanced Ruby development, making them better prepared for professional software engineering roles or complex Ruby-based projects.

This module introduces the Ruby Advanced Project by establishing a strong foundation in project planning, environment setup, requirement analysis, and application workflow design to ensure learners are prepared for structured and scalable development.
