01 - Introduction - Let's Build: With Ruby on Rails - Event Scheduling App with Payments

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz and I work as a Product Designer at Dribbble. For fun, I design, code, and write. Check out my blog called Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com where I publish design and development tutorials with the occasional vlog.

==================== PART 1 OF 7

In this seven-part series, I will build an app called Consultly. The app primarily deals with event scheduling but could be extended a great deal.

Any new user can sign up for free but will be charged if they are interested in scheduling a consultation session (with the admin of the app). All data pertaining to each new session will be relative to the currently logged in user. The primary focus is to provide an entrepreneurial consultant a platform to receive payments, communicate with clients, and book sessions without exchanging a lot of emails or phone calls.

I'll add support for an admin user role to manage users, see upcoming sessions that have been booked, as well as manage the application.

In part 1 I walk you through the app and the features we will build as we progress utilizing some of the latest and greatest tech.
