    "Hacked up videos with Safari On The Go app on iPad" - by Craig on 25-JAN-2013
    Reviewer Rating: 1 star rating2 star rating3 star rating4 star rating5 star rating
    On iPad with the Safari on-the-go app, the video chapters are incomplete.  Totally worthless. But playing it through the Safari website on Safari browser, it seems to work fine.  Haven't gotten far enough to give a realistic rating of the content, but will revise later.

    "Awesome video tutorial for Ruby on Rails" - by Rawhide on 10-JAN-2013
    Reviewer Rating: 1 star rating2 star rating3 star rating4 star rating5 star rating
    This is a tremendously good tutorial for learning Ruby on Rails. You will learn the fundamentals of how Rails works and how to build a non-trivial Rails application from scratch.

    Michael explains things very well. It is unlikely that you will feel the material is "over your head" while watching the videos. One of the things I like best about this course is that Test Driven Development and Version Control are used throughout the course.
