Coding, Programming Tutorials - Creating pages in Ruby

If you haven't noticed, Ruby on Rails makes your job(the developer) easier by using something most programming languages don't have: common sense. :D By that, I don't mean you can type in words and expect ruby to magically sort everything out for you, but it's not far from that! Ruby does alot of background work using 'sensible defaults' that are set up, and if you go with the flow, it will save you alot of code. Here's an example: First let's create something to work with. Let's create an applicatoin called atmt. First go into your ruby console and type this(if your using windows): rails atm Then let's create our controller : ruby script/ generate controller (choose whatever name you want) wow Now lets create some pages! Open up your wow controller and add the following code

def login

end

def logout

end

def my_balance

end

def home

end

def my_mail

end

Now that we initialized the pages in our controller, we now have to create the pages. Just think of it as declaring variables. First you have to create it, then you can fill it in. That's what's happening here - we're telling the controller there WILL be a page called login, logout, etc. Now you'll see ruby's first 'sensible defaults.' When you define a page in the controller, the pages you create must match the names in the controller to work. If we agree to this, it will save us alot of work, and ruby will automate most of the process for it.
