Jefferson Bicca Charczuk Brazil This course was excellent to get an overview of how Ruby and Rails works, get the pros and cons of this technology and what's behind the "convention over configuration" philosophy! In addition to this, it was interesting to learn and have an idea of the two most interesting topics of the course which were the "blocks and closures" and the "meta-programming"! They are definitely the base of how Rails was built! Thanks Sang Shin for this course and a special thanks for Raul Parolari for giving the support in this session! Without any doubts, I will try to attend the next session to get the topics that will be covered!

Suman Kassis USA Thank you so much for teaching this course.It was a great course;assignments and material was very easy to understand. Look forward to the other sessions.
Tim Leonard USA Thanks for spending the time to put together this course.  My purpose in taking this course was to see Ruby on Rails for myself.  I have spent a lot of time with other frameworks and ROR represents a different approach.  Your course brought out the differences along with the similarities.  The biggest problem with the course is not the course but the subject matter itself.  As a Software Engineer, I want to know the details of how and why.  Rails attempts to hide these details using canned procedures and code generation.  There are very few good texts or tutorials that adequately explain exactly what is going on behind the curtain.  That is probably Rails biggest failure and the reason why many people initially attempt to use it and then abandon it for a more direct approach. If this course needs anything, it needs more in depth explanation of what is behind the Rails curtain. Thanks again for all your time and efforts
Walter Mangra Canada Thanks for your kind efforts.  I am now well on my way in becoming 'fluent' in RoR.
Xavier Pineda Cortes Spain I've learned a lot about Rails. Thank you very much.
Yvonne Kinsey Florida, USA Great course that gave me a sound foundation to become a Ruby expert.  Thanks for offering this course, having good exercises and homework, and wonderful reference links.
