Course Summary

Home > Courses >Back-End Development >Ruby on Rails >Ruby for Managers

Ruby is an elegant, Object-Oriented (OO), terse and famously readable programming language that is used by a variety of companies in production. Ruby has a very active developer community and tens of thousands of gems (libraries) for developers to work with. The Ruby for Managers training course teaches Managers, Project Managers, Quality Assurance (Q/A) Managers, and Business Analysts the core Ruby and Rails concepts required to successfully manages software development and testing projects.

Ruby for Managers begins with a comparison of Ruby to other common programming languages found in the enterprise, followed by a discussion and an examination of features unique to Ruby. The course then transitions into high-level code walkthroughs to create a high-level familiarity with the key features of a Ruby program. Finally, the course concludes with a discussion on using Ruby for new product development and test automation in terms of the process, tools, and impacts to development teams. This course would be valuable for managers of software development projects that use Ruby.
