Newbie question, but I cannot seem to find this anywhere. What does REST stand for? What about DRY (I think it means write only once?) ? - Janna
DRY = Don't Repeat Yourself.
DRY = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don’t_repeat_yourself
REST = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST
You can find a lot of these terms within the documentation, books, and various online
blogs. I would focus on getting a good foundation in the basics and building your knowledge
with Rails.
