Rails Basic's Notes

So what is rails?
it's a web app framework for ruby's

That means it's a set of code libraries that can provide general functionality that can be used, and reused. It also has default values built in and flow controls.  Libraries usually don't set default values.




Rails uses MVC Architecture 
MVC architecture stands for: Model View Controler

The Model is the objects

The View is the presentation layer (what the user sees and interacts with)

The Control processes and responses to events - such as user actions

So...
Decision code goes in the controller

Data code goes in the model

Presentation code goes in the view

Rails refers to the view as the action view

Rails refers to the model as the active record

Rails refers to the model and view together as the "action pack"
