About Your Instructor
I’m Ryan, a 3-time startup founder and partner at Fork Equity. I’ve spent years helping people acquire small companies, become better marketers, and now: learn to code.
To evaluate my programming chops, check out these 5 live streams where I build SaaS apps (from scratch) in 7-12 hours.
What is this course about?
Learn to bang out a SaaS prototype in 24 hours, from someone who’s done it many times.
There are no “secrets to building quickly.” Here’s my exact process to building anything in a day:
- Wireframe – remove surprises and scope creep
- Data modeling – prevent technical debt
- Frontend – use a proven design system
- Backend – write the minimum code to accomplish each feature
Powerpoint presentations and theoretical lectures are for losers. At Founder/Hacker we learn by doing.
In this course we’ll build three Rails apps with varying complexity. We’ll start with the simplest commands — running “rails new” — and by the end you’ll be installing gems, integrating APIs, deploying to your own dot-com domains with working Stripe subscription payments, and even building admin panel with user impersonation and fancy charts.
Each app will explore the core steps I described above (Wireframe, Data modeling, Frontend, Backend) with increasing level of detail. And by popular request, code will be available in “freeze time” at the end of every lecture, so you never miss a beat.
Prerequisites
This course will not teach you to code from scratch. To maximize value from 24 Hour MVP, first enroll in our free Fundamentals course, which will take you 20-30 hours to complete and make you proficient in Ruby.
Bonus content
In addition to our private student community and free lecture add-ons, included in your enrollment is access to Tailwind UI, a $300 value.
