Hi Marnen, > Can I suggest that you supplement this with automated tests and version > control?
Absolutely! That's definitely on my agenda. But this (first) Rails app is intended to automate a substantial part of burden my son faces in managing his small business. So, I'm focused on getting "version 1" of this app developed and deployed to prove that "help is on the way." Using BDD and Subversion are my goals, but the learning curve for effective use is time taken from a delivery date. I just spent more than a week learning how to introduce navigation subtleties into my app. I probably left this problem for "version 2" but I was annoyed that my years of 20th Century computer-consulting skills were inadequate for the 21st Century Web. Now that I got a glimpse into handling this navigation problem, I off to work on the last functionality required before version 1 deployment: authenticated users.
