My first presentation on what is Ruby on Rails

1. puts 'hello ruby on rails'
by amol.pujari
Why should you switch to Ruby? If you are happy with Perl or Python, you don't
have to. But if you do feel there must be a better language, Ruby may be your
language of choice. Learning a new language is harmless. It gives you new
ideas and insights. You don't have to switch, just learn and try it. You may find
yourself comfortable enough with Ruby to decide to switch to it.
- Matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto), written ruby in 1995


Database migration: app/db/migrate/<ts>_create_books.rb

Model: class Book => app/models/book.rb

Views: app/views/books/

Controller: class BooksController => app/controllers/books_controller.rb

Unit tests: app/test/unit/book_test.rb

Fixtures: app/test/fixtures/books.yml

Functional tests: test/functional/books_controller_test.rb

Routes: resources :books =>

16. Ruby on Rails: Principles - DRY
