Hi there,
My startup, Matygo, is running our second live Rails for Beginners course starting next week. This course is for people who are new to Rails, or have yet to dive in, and want to get a head start getting up to speed.
Registration Link: Matygo.com is for sale | HugeDomains
Our classes are fully online but are quite interactive. This is how it works: 1. Weekly live group video workshop led by an instructor that clarifies and builds upon the week’s homework and provides personal guidance. We integrated Google Hangouts, so this is a true group video classroom (limited to 9 students) with screen sharing, whiteboarding, and more.
2. Private discussion forums, assignments, file and resource sharing. This is administered through the Matygo web and mobile apps (iOS and Android) and can be accessed 24/7.
The course uses Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails book/tutorial (http:// ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book) as a primary reference and adds a live class with max 9 other people and custom assignments.
The course lasts 8 weeks with 1 live class a week on Tuesdays from 7:30-8:30pm PST. It costs $149 total, so just under $19/class.
The last round went really well, so we're doing another. Sound bytes from two of the first round students:
“rails_class = { "training_co" =>"http://www.matygo.com", "student" => "@curphey", "teacher" => "@derekyau", "quality" => "A+"}” - Mark Curphey https://twitter.com/#!/curphey/status/146809747281158144
“The tutorial was used as the primary reference material for the Matygo course Rails for Beginners. I don’t think I could have gotten very far in the tutorial without the clarification provided by the Matygo teacher. “ - Chad Kohalyk @chadkoh • Beginning Rails
For organizations, we can also create custom classes and have already done this for a number of companies.

Have a great day!
