Use Rails On Rails at ODT with confidence

• Write your data model once, Rails builds everything from it - routes, controllers, views. Zero SQL.
• Learn the one flow that powers every Rails app: 
  Model, Migration, Routes, Controller, Views. One kick, mastered.
• Walk out with a working Medium clone and a workshop kit you can revisit anytime.

What You'll Build: A medium clone

User, Posts, Comments, Tags - public reading, login to create, rich text editor, file uploads, real-time comments.

• rails new + First Scaffold - 3 commands = a full app

• has_many :through - Tags + Join Tables
• Action Text - Free rich text editor from Rails
• Authentication - Devise
• Team Survival Skills - Migrations, Rollbacks, Schema Conflicts, Git Workflow

Workshop Kit Included

• Branch-per-section repo - Fall behind? Just checkout the next step. Never lost.
• Companion guide - Every step has a guide explaining everything
• Test snippets - Every branch includes tests to verify your work
• Progressive difficulty - Start with recipes, understand why, then try it yourself

What to Prepare

• Laptop with Ruby, Rails, and your favorite editor (VSCode, Cursor, etc.)
• Most importantly - get plenty of sleep

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times
