I am a senior developer, new to Rails and the web. Full Stack Rails Mastery has filled in the gaps, both at a conceptual and detailed level. The approach of building a real-world app, and coding along with the lessons, provides a firm understanding of how Rails works. Hrishi’s teaching style is clear, concise and explanatory. I highly recommend Full Stack Rails Mastery to up your game.

Do you wish you could build Rails apps with confidence?

Maybe you want to start your own SaaS startup or build side projects or make more money by getting a better job as a professional Rails developer. Or maybe you just love learning!

You can build toy apps and manage to contribute in a team as long as there are others making decisions. But when it comes to building on your own, you're never sure if you're doing things the right way.

You don't know best practices. You feel like an imposter and it's only a matter of time before you get found out and everyone realises you're faking it.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

What if there was a way to plug all the holes in your knowledge?

To feel confident in your ability to build production quality apps?

"The Full Stack Rails Mastery course is an outstanding resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Rails development. The course is comprehensive, starting with the basics of setting up a Rails app and extending to topics like deploying to production, integrating Stripe for payments, and adding interactivity with Hotwire.
