i think your project is a pretty good start. if you are going to code it all by yourself, maybe even put your authentication-code into a plugin and in the end try to exchange it with sth. like restful_athentication, then you got your hands dirty enough to start a serious project. depending on your personal goals you could take a few steps into the way rails handles AJAX (prototype, ...).
in general your goals should be to: - be able to write some basic ruby-code - get an understanding for the way rails works and models, views and controllers interact with each other - work with plugins (use them and maybe write your own) and gems - write valid html and css - use some AJAX - secure your application as i see it your demo-project allows you to dive into all these topics. everything else depends on your personal needs and plans. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
