Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will understand the basic concepts of modern web development.
 
They will be able to apply Ruby and Ruby on Rails paradigms and can combine Ruby´s ecosystem building blocks to map application events.
 
Students will be able to identify the layers of a web application, as well as identify and correct the origin of errors. This gives them the ability to correct and develop Ruby applications.
 
In addition, they will also be able to estimate the challenges a cloud environment can pose for a web application and how to solve them. This will allow them to develop scalable Ruby on Rails applications.
