Rails - Jul 2012 - View with Variable Number of Fields

I''m a relative n00b when it comes to Rails. I''ve gone through
Michael
Hartl''s tutorials (both editions, books and screencasts) and I can
build a
basic CRUD web app without help. However, for a personal project I''m 
working on, I''m lost as to how to move forward. Here''s the
situation ...

I have a model called Project with two fields, name:string and due:date. 
Project is associated (has_many) with a model called Task (with rows 
description:text, status:text, and project_id:integer) which is associated 
back to Project with belongs_to. All this works fine.

What I''d really like to be able to do is click on a particular project
on
the Project#index page and be taken to a page that lets me enter as many 
tasks as I need ... not just one at a time. I''m wondering how I can do 
this? Do I need to use AJAX or one of the popular JS frameworks?

Can anyone point me to an example of how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

These railscast [1] and [2] show how to do what I think you want,
however they are a bit out of date now.  I see there are revised
episodes but to get that you have to pay :(
Start by looking at those to get the basic idea.

Does anyone know of more up to date examples?
