It would be cool to have some courses on local development for the "real world" Using virtualbox and Vagrant. At work we use these and automated deployments using Robo taskrunner scripts and composer. Another option to add in could include Docker containers, but I personally have mixed feelings about Docker.

22,336 PointsOkay will look into that one. Thank you I have not looked at the Ruby course as I have been really busy at work for awhile now. I personally like Vagrant and figured people could benefit from it. Thanks Again

22,336 PointsOkay so I did a search for Vagrant and found the Ruby video, however What I am meaning by a course is to explain in depth for students what Vagrant is and how to use it. Things such as writing and setting up a custom vagrant file and how it all works. This goes very in depth and gets quite advanced for local development. Knowing how to connect it with other elements such as a .yaml file and ssh into your box and or servers and what not. Basically an advanced course to show users that they have other options than the AMP stacks, that do not have the flexibility needed of mass deployments for production environments on a large scale.

28,770 PointsI kind of figured that was what you were aiming for, but at least there's something in the short term that can be pointed at to get people started with it.
