Hi, I am making a dummy social networking website for my school project. Can anyone guide me on as to how to manage a social network on RoR?

I want to do following things: 1. Make public profiles 2. Send friend request. 3. Accept/ decline friend requests. 4. Notify people of changes in the profiles of their friends.

Here I need help particularly for managing one's network of friends and would really appreciate if someone can help me on point no. 2, 3 and 4.

Thanks, Tyche

Hi Tyche, I would recommend doing some research for your school project. For example, you can take a look at Chapter 14 of ‘Railspace: Building A Social Networking Website with Ruby on Rails’ by Michael Hartl and Aurelius Prochazka.

Good luck,

-Conrad

ps: Please remember that this is a school project and this project should teach you how to learn not

copy.

the Apress social networking on rails book by Bradburn is also quite good
