Based on Udemy The Complete Ruby on Rails Developer Course

Want to learn how to build a blog with Ruby on Rails? You’ve come to the right place. My goal with this tutorial was to be as accessible as possible to anyone beginning the Ruby on Rails learning journey, and so if you have any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments! With all that being said, please dive in and enjoy the learning process.

This tutorial is based on Udemy’s The Complete Ruby on rails Developer Course. I highly recommend it. Pro tip: Udemy frequently gives extreme discounts on their courses. If this course costs more than $10–15, Google a discount code before you buy it.
