Tutorials and speed of the course

April 10th, 2008 |

Please do not get sidetracked by tutorials you find on the web. Use them as a reference for what I want you to do. Instead follow my instructor blog (and notes) for direction. Currently, I only need you to know how to create a rails app, write some erb, and link a few pages together as shown in last week’s lecture. The scaffold was something I was demonstrating to show how quickly you can get a database-driven app up and going. You can use the scaffolded code as a reference. You are not yet expected to know how the scaffolded code is supposed to work. Over the next couple of weeks we are going to build a database driven app from scratch so that I can address some very important concepts (like ActiveRecord and routing) along the way.
