finish my current rails project

Whilst there are things I can do to improve the application I’ve written (I’ve given it a tag of 0.9), it has served its purpose for now so I’m calling this goal complete.

Still endeavouring to master Rails though.

Need to define what “finished” is for my project. It has served its purpose for now but there are a few things I’d like to do to tidy it up.

My “Cricket Coach Helper” app is now into a state where it is useful to me!

Before I start tidying up some loose ends and doing one further small iteration, the next thing I need to do is get all my automated functional tests running and upgrade Rails from 0.13.1 to 1.0.

When I started this project I wasn’t that confident in my working knowledge of Rails beyond using scaffolding. Not any more!

My little Rails app is coming along. As I add controllers, actions and views to support the requirements of the current iteration I’m getting more practice at coding in Rails rather than just depending on scaffolds.

I’m happy about this because of course every page in every web application is not going to be a simplistic element of CRUD.

Anyway, it’s getting there. Some days I spend a couple of hours on it and I’m certainly finding it more productive than J2EE.

I’m working on the major iteration of my current project. The model is looking good; now for the controller…
