I always wanted a structured free course on web development which covers every aspect of web development, so I am going to create a project for it. What I want is some guidance and contributors from web development industry so that together we can create some great free and open-sourced course. I don't know where to start, I am just a beginner in this industry. Still I created a github repo with some catalogue from my point of view. The link is https://github.com/hiteshtr/open-courseware-web-development

Any one wants to contribute or join me in can mail me: hiteshtr_at_gmail_dot_com

but this project is based on ruby on rails only, what about other aspects of web like responsiveness, protocols, security and best practices

The things is web development is a huge thing to cover and there are several languages concerned with each aspect.

The building blocks for free courses are out there. I think this is where pineapple.io plays a part.
