Every other week you will be treated to a new, free RailsCasts episode featuring tips and tricks with Ruby on Rails, the popular web development framework. These screencasts are short and focus on one technique so you can quickly move on to applying it to your own project. The topics are geared toward the intermediate Rails developer, but beginners and experts will get something out of it as well. A Pro option is also available containing more screencasts each week. This version is for mobile devices which cannot support the full resolution version.

Customer Reviews
Recommended for programmers of any kind
Rails is being improved constantly, and it can be difficult to keep track of the latest trends and ways people are working.
Ryan will keep you up-to-date, and he'll make you feel good while he does so.
He's also a great programmer and his code is always tight.
I think you could learn an awful lot from this podcast about how to approach software engineering, whether or not you're a Ruby programmer.
Essential viewing if you're serious about software development, and a pleasure to consume.
Very worthwhile for Rails devs of all levels
The early railscasts provide some good introductory info on Rails, but the focus these days is, of course, generally on the changes to Rails, and on new tools/plugins/etc.
Ryan explains stuff well, and clearly, and with good examples.
I've been following these casts from the start, and the standard is consistently fine. Recommended.
Great, useful, interesting
I wish I had a dedicated time to go through all the episodes on a regular basis with doing exercises. I'm sure it would make me thinking in Rails way. Guess what, I am going to spend an hour a day to practice Rails way of thinking with the episodes from this podcast. Thank you Ryan. It is a pleasure to learn Rails development techniques from your podcast.
