He's shown way too much code, and if you take a look at his routes he has a whole bunch of actions that probably don't need to be there. He has no idea what the controller provides to the view or how that even works. We should teach them this *first* (create a controller, actions, etc.) and then show them the shortcut to doing it (scaffold generator). Teaching them scaffold first is wrong. It's a cheap trick that needs to die. I think that extracting it out into a gem and educating people on how Rails should be taught would have the best impact. The people who still want to use scaffolding for rapid prototyping can do that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
