Master the art of Hotwire & Ruby on Rails with free step-by-step modules and premium build-alongs.
Hello Hotwire is a free course with premium build-along modules for developers looking to dive into Hotwire using Ruby on Rails with a fresh perspective.
The truth is, you don't need to use Hotwire. It does, however, come stock in Rails 7.1+ apps. I like to consider it icing on the cake of the Ruby on Rails framework which already does SO MUCH on its own.
Hotwire brings the statefulness many JavaScript devs love into more sane models and conventions Ruby on Rails enthusiasts tend to prefer.
Here are a few reasons to consider it.
Faster User Experience
By sending HTML directly instead of JSON, you reduce the need to send data back and forth between client and server, speeding up interactions and reducing latency.
Reduced JavaScript Complexity
Hotwire aims to simplify the front end by reducing the bulk of JavaScript code needed to make reactive web applications, leaning on server-rendered HTML instead.
Streamlined Development
Developers can work more efficiently within the Rails ecosystem, leveraging Rails' conveniences and conventions alongside Hotwireβs capabilities to quickly build and maintain features.
Real-time Updates: With features like Turbo Streams and morphing, Hotwire allows real-time DOM updates, perfect for features that need to reflect changes instantly, such as chat systems, live notifications, or stateful content.
You'd be a good fit for this course if you've used Rails before but haven't dabbled in the Hotwire features yet. If you're brand new to Rails, check out the sister course called Hello Rails.

Hey! I'm Andy. I'm a big fan of Ruby on Rails and have taught in this domain for over six years.
By day, I'm a senior product designer and software developer. By night I'm a husband, dad, and fullstack dev who loves to build web apps, write, record, and code.
Some of my current projects include: webcrunch.com, hellorails.io, and railsui.com.
I publish content almost every week on YouTube and the blog. I'm trying to grow continuously, so if you subscribed to either site, that would be amazing!
Stay updated to date with this course by sharing your email address. I'll send meaningful updates when they happen to keep you in the loop. This might include sales, discounts, and general updates about the course.
I tend to learn by best by doing. You might opt for my premium build-along bonuses below if you're anything like me.
The build-along is not just a Ruby on Rails app we build together, it's an interactive learning experience. By coding along, you'll not only understand these concepts better than with the free Hello Hotwire version, but you'll also be actively applying them. It's a smart investment to learn Hotwire the right way the first time.
