rails for dummies

Hellos all,

I'm new to this so I have one really stupid question. When I make my website is the whole thing going to be encoded in my_test_controller.rb if I do 'ruby script\generate controller MyTest' as "ONLamp" says to do?

Cheers,

Paul

The short answer is "no".

A longer, and more accurate answer is, "only if that's how you want to built it". (Which, by the way, is a really bad idea.)

I'm assuming you haven't finished the tutorial, so I will end by saying finish the tutorial, and don't worry if you make mistakes, because you will, and at the end of the day, regardless of how poorly built your application is, tomorrow's application will be that much better.

Three cheers for starting your journey with Rails, too.
