I've been a bit quiet the last few months since we had our second baby on the way. Everyone's happy and healthy and I've been enjoying some time off with the family. 👨🍼
I wanted to share our Black Friday deals early this year since I've got my hands full with the new baby.
Here's what's on sale for 2025:
36% off the GoRails yearly plan ($144/year)
Stay up to date with Rails 8.1, Hotwire, and more with a GoRails subscription. This works out to only $12/mo to master Ruby on Rails which is a great deal.
$50 off the Learn Hotwire course
Early this year, we launched the Learn Hotwire course and it got some incredible feedback. It's the most comprehensive and up-to-date course on Hotwire and explains how many of Hotwire's features work from scratch with plain JavaScript.
The Learn Hotwire course goes up in price after Cyber Monday, so be sure to snag a copy today. If you want to buy licensese for your team, send me an email!
$50 off Jumpstart Pro Rails, iOS and Android
The Jumpstart Pro templates are perfect if you've got an idea or product you want to build. You can focus on building and getting your idea into users' hands as fast as possible.
It runs Ruby 3 and Rails 8.1, Hotwire, Stripe, and has a built-in admin interface, API, payments, teams, webhooks, API clients, and a whole slew of functionality to save you time.
In fact, all of our products like GoRails https://gorails.com and Hatchbox.io https://hatchbox.io run on Jumpstart Pro Rails. Since we use it every day, it's a great, battle-tested template to learn from and use as a foundation.
$50 off the Advanced Ruby: Behind the Magic course
The Advanced Ruby course explains everything I wish I knew when I was starting my career as a Ruby on Rails developer. I struggled with learning Ruby itself because I jumped straight into the deep end with Rails. This course explains how Rails takes advantage of Ruby with DSLs, methods, classes, metaprogramming and much more. After this course, you'll have a strong understanding of how to use Ruby to build elegant software.
$50 off the Payments with Rails Master Class
Payments have gotten very tricky to implement over the years. This course walks through accepting payments with Stripe, supporting Strong Customer Authentication, webhooks, and more.
$50 off the Refactoring Rails course
Ben Orenstein's Refactoring Rails course is one I refer back to several times a year. It's a great set of strategies for cleaning up and better organizing your code. Highly recommend it if you want to get better at refactoring code and tests.
$50 off SellRepo
SellRepo is a self-hosted, one-time purchase app (like ONCE apps) to help you sell source code. Deploy it to your server then connect your GitHub repository and Stripe account and start selling!
Use 7LGYNCWI at checkout to get $50 off SellRepo!
Phew, that's a lot of things! If you have any questions, let me know.
