1. You have to create controllers with the class names and then you can copy the code in the controllers. 2. You can create a model and a database with all the fields you want and then you can insert the data in the db from the variables using a controller.
I am also a beginner at Rails. So, please confirm this with someone else as well. Happy coding!
