Well, i''m like a dinosaur .. an ASP classic procedural developer but I think it''s'' time to evolve, so I started learning RoR and OO/MVC programming. As a First step I did the two "try" on the netbeans website and everythig was fine so i''m making a to do list of simple project for getting better and better knowlege about Ror. righrt now i thinked this "demo" project: 1: a CRUD for making mail footer (you can insert your name , phone ,and skype) and the app will make a nice .zip with inside a personalized html to use as mail footer. (right now I have this app made with asp+mdb 2: a login system ... a user can register himself with mail validation and later logon and change his password 3: a filemanager .. you can upload , download and delete a file next ... ? add your comment thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You can find all the needed code snippets in Advanced Rails Recipes.

It goes through the creation of a social network site using rails and assumes zero knowledge. http://www.amazon.com/RailsSpace-Building-Networking-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321480791/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236105978&sr=8-1 -- Starr Horne My blog: http://starrhorne.com Check out my Helpdesk RailsKit: http://railskits.com/helpdesk/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

These books take you through the process of developing an entire app from a to z. (social network, e-commerce site of news site) I find these methods really handy. Not only do you get a cleared picture of the coherence of the code, you also learn a bit about plugins, generators, test driven development, ajax etc. I would start with: Beginning Rails (http://tinyurl.com/b438x8). A file manager and a mail footer creator are not the best starting points, since an important part of Ruby on Rails is developing database driven webapps and working through the MVC principle. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

i think your project is a pretty good start. if you are going to code it all by yourself, maybe even put your authentication-code into a plugin and in the end try to exchange it with sth. like restful_athentication, then you got your hands dirty enough to start a serious project. depending on your personal goals you could take a few steps into the way rails handles AJAX (prototype, ...). in general your goals should be to: - be able to write some basic ruby-code - get an understanding for the way rails works and models, views and controllers interact with each other - work with plugins (use them and maybe write your own) and gems - write valid html and css - use some AJAX - secure your application as i see it your demo-project allows you to dive into all these topics. everything else depends on your personal needs and plans. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

oh, yeah i forgot: - be sure to test your app. either you use the built in test- framework or something like rspec. btw: it really doesn''t matter which book your reading or which tutorial you are following. your approach of getting your hands dirty and trying to build a (not so trivial) app on your own is IMHO a very good one. you will need to combine the examples of different tutorials/ books into one working app. that will teach you a lot about rails. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Well, first many thanks to all of you for all you hints, they are very usefull. for now I did a few times both this tutorial http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/ruby/rapid-ruby-weblog.html http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/ruby/model.html and i feel a little less dinosaur :-) after this tutorial I created another application with two model (cars and animals) an I made links from one model to the other in different point (just for fun and for unterstanding rest) ... now I''m trying to make an """homepage"" with a list of all models existing in my app. Reading around looks like I need an "observer" .. but I''m not sure (as usual) How can i get a page that dinamically generate something like ul li \cars li \animals ul -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

# controller:
def show_all_models
# require all of your models so they get loaded
Dir.glob(RAILS_ROOT + ''/app/models/*.rb'').each { |file|
require
file }
# find all subclasses of ActiveRecord
@all_models = Object.subclasses_of(ActiveRecord::Base)
end
# view:
<ul>
<% @all_models.each do |model| %>
<li><%= model %></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
if you are using ActiveRecordStore there is probably a model in there
for that as well. if you don''t want to display that one, remove it
inside your controller.

NEXT STEP In my app there is a class CAR name:string power:string (has_many: WHEELS) ... is possible to create a scaffold of MUSCLE_CAR that extend CAR and inherit everything from CAR (name,power and WHEELS) and later if I add something to CAR (like door_number) will also appear into MUSCLE_CAR ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
