It seems like half the people on this list are writing a book on Ruby or Rails. For all the hints I''ve seen strewn across the list I have yet to see one that will focus on test-driven development for either Ruby or for Rails. If anyone is looking for a topic, please consider this. I''ve been trying to wrap my brain around the TDD process, but its way of thinking is

To combat this I am adding to every action like edit: rescue redirect_to :action => ''index'' flash[''errors''] =

Hiall, If I have say 10 tables that i would like to wrap up in 1 view to manipulate data inside these tables, do I then need 10 model.rb files for all 10 tables plus 1 for the view, or do I just need 1 model.rb file for the view ? cheers Martin

Hello! I''m new to Ruby and Rails, but have been reading along here, and searched the archives and didn''t see anything addressing some concerns I have with using Rails and Firebird.
