I liked messing up and doing it all wrong at my own comfort level and then learning the right way to do things. Trying to cram all of it in doesn't make sense because you won't understand why it's the right way. Once you start feeling comfortable with Ruby and with Rails, and I do mean both, things will start to click as they do with any language and platform. Then you will start to see why something works and why it is the best way to go. I say do what you have to do to get the project done, but whenever something looks like it's completely missing the point of rails, take a look around and see how others did it. A great resource that I still use is Railscasts. It's a quick and dirty why do see how many things are done the quick and DRY way. thanks, Bassel www.imustrant.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
