Our fifth podcast episode has been posted today. In it, we dig a little deeper and explore some of the ins and outs of Rails form processing. At a conceptual level, we explain how forms and models work together, and the glue that binds them within the controller. Along the way, we touch on validation, error message passing, and utilizing Ajax techniques.

We received some great feedback for “more code”. We hear you! The show notes for the current series really are just showing snippets and are intended to simply illustrate a concept. In time, we’ll be going in to things in more depth, and at that point, we’ll provide full working source files.

Currently, we are working on preparation tasks for the RailsQuickStart. If you are just starting out, and not only want the concepts but also want to get your hands dirty with some friendly folks at your side, this is the place to be in February. The code we are using in the seminar will be a useful starting point for your own sites, and in it, we will be showing compete working examples of most of the concepts we cover in the podcast.
