Description
In this course, learners will develop practical programming skills in Ruby and Perl, progressing from core language fundamentals to full-stack web application development. Learners will work with Ruby’s core data structures, control flow, loops, methods, blocks, hashes, and object-oriented programming principles, applying each concept through hands-on labs built around real-world scenarios. They will then build dynamic web applications using Ruby on Rails, working with single models, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships, and implementing authentication and authorization systems. Learners will also gain foundational skills in Perl, covering language syntax, control structures, arrays, operators, modules, objects, and file and database handling.
