Third place to go

Thank God Starbucks created a third place to go. First two being home and work. It is easier to code/study when there’s noise in the background and other people also slaving away. At least for me. Although, I’m at Caribou, not Starbucks.

Checklist for a new Rails project

Here’s a cheat sheet to starting a new rails project.

1. Create the rails proj (rails proj_name)
2. Update the database connection (config\database.yml)
3. Create the database (create database)
4. Generate the model (ruby script\generate model)
5. Edit the migration file (db\migrate\…)
6. Create database table for the model (db\migrate\rake migrate)
7. Generate the scaffold (ruby script\generate model controller)
8. Run the server (ruby script\server)
9. Run the app (http://localhost:3000/controller)
10. Eat the cake

Welcome 2007!

Happy 2007!  Let the coding fun begin.
