Start with the simplest bit and work up. Since you are not editing a resource then use form_tag rather then form_for. Google and look at the docs for how to use it (you will find many examples). Once you have got a form to display then work out how to get the list of products on it. Then work out how to get in the input fields, and so on. Come back with questions when you get stuck. Use a code control system such as git to manage your code so you can easily experiment and go back to previous versions if you find yourself up a blind alley. Write tests as you go so that you know that the code works. I presume you have worked through a number of tutorials on basic RoR functionality, testing and so on. Even if they do not seem to be directly applicable to your requirement you will learn a lot by doing this.
