This series of tutorials is a fast-paced, step-by-step, get-to-the-point introduction to building, deploying, and scaling feature-rich apps for desktop and mobile experiences.

Our goal is to quickly get you up to speed so you can build Minimum Viable Products for your own app ideas.

Part 1 focuses on web development. We'll introduce you quickly to HTML, CSS, SASS, JavaScript, jQuery, Ruby, Embedded Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Git, CoffeeScript, JSON, XML, Eco, and Backbone.js - discuss briefly high level design and business aspects of app development - then jump right into writing code (specifically, we'll be building together, step-by-step, a simple app idea we have to help make meetings more efficient).

Part 2 extends Part 1 by focusing on building the mobile experience of our app for iOS and Android devices, including releasing it on the App Store and Google Play.

Part 3 finishes the trilogy by walking through testing, deploying, caching, scaling, releasing new features, and overall DevOps considerations for the app to support thousands-to-millions of users.
