Hello Hotwire is a free course with premium build-along modules for developers looking to dive into Hotwire using Ruby on Rails with a fresh perspective.

The truth is, you don't need to use Hotwire. It does, however, come stock in Rails 7.1+ apps. I like to consider it icing on the cake of the Ruby on Rails framework which already does SO MUCH on its own.

Hotwire brings the statefulness many JavaScript devs love into more sane models and conventions Ruby on Rails enthusiasts tend to prefer.

Faster User Experience By sending HTML directly instead of JSON, you reduce the need to send data back and forth between client and server, speeding up interactions and reducing latency.

Reduced JavaScript Complexity Hotwire aims to simplify the front end by reducing the bulk of JavaScript code needed to make reactive web applications, leaning on server-rendered HTML instead.

Streamlined Development Developers can work more efficiently within the Rails ecosystem, leveraging Rails' conveniences and conventions alongside Hotwire’s capabilities to quickly build and maintain features.
