We've just passed the 5,000 subscriber milestone! Thank you guys for all the support, kind comments, likes and shares. I really appreciate it. It's been just over 2 years since I posted the first video to YouTube. 

Most of my videos are around Ruby on Rails, which is very niche in 2021/2022. I knew that at the outset but it's a combination of the language and framework that I've got the most satisfaction with over the years and wanted to share with others.

I had no expectations in terms of subscribers/views when starting this journey so it's really cool to see that we are growing in numbers month over month.

Lots of new Rails content planned for 2022.

Appreciate you all, stay safe and chat soon!

New videos going out next week. YT content has been slow lately, mainly because I'm prepping for something big that will be announced very soon. Make sure to follow me on Twitter and connect there and I'll try reply to all comments. I will be posting daily on Twitter over the next few months (more on that soon).

Always great to get feedback from you guys. I will use the order here to determine which courses get launched in which order. Cheers :)

I often get messages from viewers who watched my Rails MVP builds (Instagram/Real Estate app etc) but struggle to keep up with the speed.

As a way to improve this I've decided to go back and fully edit the videos for these builds and release them as full courses on Udemy. It means a good bit of work as I need to spend days doing voice overs again but at least I can make the content create more impact.

Slower pace, better explanations and access to the source code of the finished build. I would publish monthly discount codes for these courses. Does this interest you, and if so which of the following courses would you like to see launched first? 

Craigslist Clone

Instagram Clone

Real Estate Platform

Reddit Clone

Tinder Clone

In the latest poll, we currently have 51% of the votes going to the SaaS build (software as a service). We will be building a recurring payment/subscription using Stripe to access our new platform. I will be releasing the first video for that in the next couple of days so stay tuned for that!

If you are interested in purchasing the new Ruby on Rails 6 course, the coupon EARLYBIRD ($64.99) is still valid for another 24 hours.

Some new videos I am planning to add to the course within the next week:

- Action Mailbox
- Action Text
- Action Cable
- User Authentication (using bcrypt secure password)
- SEO friendly URLs for blog posts

More content will be added to the course throughout 2020 in an effort to make it the best Ruby on Rails course in the market. All updates will be FREE for anyone who has already purchased the course. Stay tuned 😊

GREAT NEWS!! Excited to announce that the new Ruby on Rails 6 course is now LIVE! 🚀

For the next 3 days, you can get an early bird price using the link below ($64.99 using code EARLYBIRD):

 https://www.udemy.com/course/complete-beginners-course-for-ruby-on-rails-6/?couponCode=EARLYBIRD 
The course is all about teaching the basics of Ruby on Rails and is especially aimed at those just starting out on their Rails journey. If you enjoy the course then I ask that you leave some kind feedback on Udemy to help me out, since it is my first course there 🙏

I will continue to add content to this course throughout 2020 and improve on the existing content based on user feedback (feel free to reach out to me), all new content will be FREE and uploaded directly to the course on Udemy.

Course has been submitted and awaiting final approval by Udemy! I've added 4 solid hours of content that is designed to get anyone who is new to Ruby on Rails (or those who have some prior knowledge) up to speed. Really excited to get this live now!

If you still haven't signed up to the mailing list, make sure to do so as I'll be launching a special promo code to everyone on the list very soon.
