I’ve been in the land of Ruby on Rails for about one-month now. Basic and nested forms, and the use of the all-powerful FormHelpers, was the topic that I slowed down for, in order to get a deep understanding.
I decided to check my status today. As it turns out, I am 399 lessons into the Learn Verified (LV) program! In 8 weeks, I’ve gained an understanding of the front-end (HTML, CSS and the Bootstrap framework), object-oriented programming, SQL and object-relational mapping (ORM), and currently working with the Sinatra framework to create functional web apps that use complex forms, databases and obtain user input.
This post is focused on structuring a simple “ready-to-run” Ruby program executable from the command line (Terminal in Mac OSX) and dedicated to all the beginning Rubyists. I hope this is helpful for beginners getting a project off the ground!
