Last night I redid the early part of the Hartl Ruby on Rails tutorial and I managed to get it work correctly this time. I am still working very slowly through it, but I am trying to take solid notes and get a grasp for what is going on underneath the scaffolding features of rails. While scaffolding provides a real time saver and gets an app off the ground very quickly, it can be very confusing if you have never done such a thing before. On the plus side Hartl does an amazing job of explaining in both diagrams and text what is happening when a person visits your app and how controllers, routes, and applications work together to store their information and display the correct HTML. I am cautiously optimistic going forward!
