I''ll just point you to the right direction, because I''m a
little bit
busy. It probably won''t help you get up and running, but it will give
you a general overview:
1) Do you know ActionMailer? Create an ActionMailer model.
2) Create a script that requires your Rails environment (require
"dir_to_your_rails_project/config/environment"), and that pulls all
the homework that is due from the database, and then sends the email
using ActionMailer.
3) Use cron to execute that script in intervals.
