Big Nerd Ranch, Day 2

May 6th, 2008  |  Published in Rails

Goodies from today:

  • Using partials with :o bject and not :locals (no need to put the instance variable in every controller that will make use of a partial). Plus, collection in partials to display tables of data, for example. And partial _counter, too. (ie, widget_counter). Dang, I had no idea.
  • Ok, I’m finally clear on setting up HABTM associations. Finally.
  • Route names: another thing that you don’t really realize are more valuable than they appear.
  • Beginning to understand how Rails handles resources as well.
