A new project started.

I started a new project on Aug. 20, 2008.

The project is called resume generator which will automatically generate a resume based on your input data and export in various formats like pdf, txt, xml, etc.

The project is located at http://xianese.unfuddle.com

Database schema has been done. Here is the diagram.

The two purposes of Rails Routing

Rails Routing is defined in ./config/route.rb. Routings are actually a list of rules.

Routing has two purposes.

• Recognize URL: What to do when an URL like
  http://localhost:3000/myrecipes/apples
  is coming.


• Generate URL: What to create when Rails command like

  
  link_to :controller=>'recipes', 
          :action=>'show', 
          :ingredient=>'apple'
  

  
  is defined.

map.connect "myrecipes/:ingredient",
            :controller=>"recipes",
            :action=>"show"

The static text is myrecipes.

The wildcard receptor is :ingredient which you can get by
params[:ingredient]
