The Scoop

Goodies from today:

• Using partials with :object 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.
