Hi, I've used Rails quite a bit. I want to understand the major Rails components well enough to read the Rails source without great struggle. Eventually I'd like to know how all the components are wired together but I'd be happy to start with understanding Active Record thoroughly. For me, the best way to understand something is to build it. I imagine building a simple version of Active Record with just one type of validation, one type of association, and one database adapter. A stripped down Active Record with the same file and class/module structure as the real thing. Does a tutorial about this sort of exercise exist? Would a tutorial about this be helpful for others? Is there anyone who can direct me to the most important parts of Active Record? (I've looked through David Black's book and it doesn't seem to cover the detail of Rails I'm interested in learning.)
Thanks, Peter _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
