We will build a fully functional Kanban board application with Rails and Hotwire. During the workshops, you will gain hands-on experience in using Hotwire: Turbo Drive and Frames, Turbo Streams with broadcasting, and Stimulus controllers fundamentals. More importantly, we will thoroughly explain the core concepts of Hotwire, giving you the knowledge and tools to build dynamic and modern applications with Rails.

The workshop session consists of short theoretical introductions with practical examples and tasks to implement. We will progressively improve the existing application by making it more dynamic and usable with Hotwire.

The workshop is ideal for those who have already heard about Hotwire, but didn’t have a chance to write a serious app with it! But if you know nothing - don’t worry, before each task, we will explain the theory. We promise to give you an inspiration to use the benefits of Hotwire whenever possible!
