[Coursera] Free online university course teaching Rails

This free online course from University of New Mexico just started. I thought it would be a good idea to post it here for anyone who wants to get some more comprehensive web architecture and Rails foundations. I'm not entirely sure how good it is, but looks very promising (more promising than the SaaS course on edX):

I will remove it if the staff decides it's not appropriate to publish here.

Yes, there is. Harvard's CS50x has a whole module on web development and it uses PHP and JavaScript:

But the instructor, David J. Malan (amazing guy), also teaches a separate, dedicated course that covers pretty much the same web dev topics, but in more detail and everything is available online:

Not sure how up to date this is, as I don't do PHP :). With Rails this would be considered really outdated.

Awesome! Is there more comprehensive courses for Angular & NodeJS also for Rails?

I don't think so, at least not a large scale course like the one above. Node is too young right now and changes too often and AngularJS 2.0 will be released in a few months, so it wouldn't make sense to cover v1 when we know that v2 will differ a lot and that it's in the works.

Ah okay you are right, I just checked Node's version is still under 0.12.0. I will wait for new better versions later.
