- Ruby on Rails: Welcome aboard
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
Getting started
-
Here’s how to get rolling:
-
-
- -
-
Use rails generate to create your models and controllers
- To see all available options, run it without parameters.
-
-
- -
-
Set up a default route and remove public/index.html
- Routes are set up in config/routes.rb.
-
-
- -
-
Create your database
- Run rake db:create to create your database. If you're not using SQLite (the default), edit config/database.yml with your username and password.
