Rails 2.0.1 Todo List tutorial
I’ve been meaning to try Rails 2.0.1, and I had some trouble finding an example. I did find this one, which is quite good.
I thought I would add one of my own. Here in five lines are the steps to create a basic todo list application in rails.
rails todo
cd todo
rake db:create:all
script/generate scaffold Todo title:string body:text done:boolean due:datetime
rake db:migrate
Then start the web server
script/server
Open your browser to http://localhost:3000/todos
You can now create, edit and Delete items. Wow. Not one SQL command.
This tutorial assumes the following:
ralis 2.0.1 installed
running mysql with no password for root at localhost.
(And it was also made on a Macbook OS X Leopard).

That is just the ticket! I have been struggling to make a site because of the changes in scaffold and routing, and this example got me through it.
