Ruby on Rails training

J2Life offers revolutionary intense three-day code-along education for the Ruby language and Ruby on Rails. The approach is over 70% lab work. Courses are affordable and customizable. We cover Active Record, Action Pack (the Rails model-view-controller), migrations, AJAX, test-driven development, and the core Rails framework.

J2Life's philosophy is learn-by-doing. We offer longer courses, usually delivered in 2-day sessions so your team can quickly absorb Rails, and be productive right away.

We teach a test-driven, version-control backed class, so your students will learn the best possible techniques.

Design Reviews

One size does not fit all. Design reviews give you the chance to pick the best possible technology. Java has richer capabilities, and Ruby on Rails offers a less complex integrated infrastructure that will let you develop at the speed of light. Spring or Ruby on Rails

The most popular J2Life engagement is the design review, because they work. A design review is an intense, three to seven day engagement that's fully interactive. J2Life will interview developers, review code, and tell you what's working. Even if you don't have code written yet, J2Life can help you pick the best possible technology, or mix of technologies for your project.

Startups facing due diligence reviews, experienced developers wanting to understand persistence alternatives, and teams needing to ramp up on Java or Ruby in a very short period of time can all benefit. Design reviews represent the best possible way to get maximum value out of your consulting dollars. When we're done, you'll get a full report of what's working and what's not. We're most interested in helping you improve.

Ruby quick starts

Today's jobs demand excellent productivity, and often emerging languages and technologies offer better productivity than Java or .NET. Ruby on Rails is emerging as a rapid application development environment that yields amazingly clean and maintainable designs. Highlights of Ruby on Rails include excellent productivity, good AJAX support, quick ramp-up times, and clean model-view-controller architectures. Whether you need education, a proof-of-concept, or an assessment of whether Ruby on Rails would be a fit for you, J2Life can help.

Staffing

J2Life can help you find the talent that you are seeking. J2Life can also help you refine your recruiting practices, or even interview for a lead architect as a member of your staff. As a member of the certification board at IBM, Bruce Tate gave hundreds of interviews.

Choosing persistence layers

The persistence tier of an application can make or break your application. With the expanding choices including emerging Java and non-Java solutions, you need to know that your choice is right. J2Life has five years of experience with helping customers navigate these turbulent waters.
