Adam asked me whether the controller I was speaking of in the previous post was related to the MVC (Model, View, Controller) architecture.
The answer, of course, is yes. That’s the pattern that Rails is built on.
So, no. You’re right. No wiki yet.
I started off today with the controller, and decided to do a detour into the RESTful “API”, since it could potentially yield a “two birds with one stone” situation.
…but (and there’s always a but with this kind of post, isn’t there?), this didn’t go as smoothly as I thought it might. So I reverted the controller, and I’ll start from there again using that old principle: Keep It Simple, Stupid!
It’s worked pretty well for us so far, after all.
Updates as I get/make ‘em.
The Wiki. I have completely destroyed the website code. It’s horribly aged (I think it was still running on Rails 1.1.2), and it was approached in completely the wrong way. I was building on framework way too much.
What now? The plan is to try and get a wiki-like thing going by the end of today. No frills. No funkiness. Just our own thing to put content up.
