Learn Once, Build Fast, Ship Quality

This isn't just a slogan—it's the philosophy that took me from being a Latin professor to a professional developer, speaking at conferences from Taiwan to Kenya. Now, I want to give you those same superpowers.

My name is Stephen, and I've been a professional Rails developer for the last 10 years. In this course, I’ll show you how to harness the power of simple yet highly effective tools like Ruby on Rails and SQLite. My goal is to give you everything you need—and nothing you don’t—to bring your next idea to life.

After introducing how Rails works with SQLite, we’ll build a real, production-ready application together. I’ll walk you through the mindset and methodology I’ve used to develop multiple high-quality applications with this exact tech stack—projects that have generated millions of dollars in revenue.

But we won’t stop there. We’ll take that application beyond our laptops and deploy it to a real production server, making it accessible to the worldwide web.

I believe now is the perfect time to invest in yourself and master these incredibly powerful tools. With the right approach, you can build fast and ship quality—but only when you learn to wield high-leverage technologies like Rails and SQLite.
