[Rails] Re: 15min of mentorship asked

2012-09-11 Thread Pj M.
Hi there,

I'm operating on a windows machine.
However the kind of advice I'm looking for is not so technical in nature 
that I need advice how to get RoR running on my machine.

With the help of AWDWR I already built the depot app on my machine. Now 
I'm looking for tips to get the most out of the language in 20 days.

Regards,
Pj

[Rails] 15min of mentorship asked

2012-09-11 Thread Pj M.
Dear RoR'ers,

I would like to call in a bit of help from the more experienced members.
The situation and question is very simple (as it always is ;)).
For the next 20 days I have nothing on my hands except learning RoR, how
can I boost my skills in this short amount of time?
* which books should I read (can also be ones that are not directly
related to RoR)
* Should I find a mentor? Where to look?
* Would it be wise to start by building a real-world project right-away?
What kind?
* The most important question: what did I forget to ask?


In order for you to be able to give a decent answer I'll give you some
more extra information on me, myself and I.

Where do I start?
* My programming background is in PHP (but let's not talk about that too
much before I make you all sick :p)
* suffice to know that I think I know the fundamental building blocks of
an application (MVC, OOP, REST, ...)
* I already read & marked the first half of Agile web development with
Rails (4th edition -> so Rails 3)

Where do I want arrive?
* In the future I would like to build applications on which I:
** can be proud of
** Rely on enough to sell to SME's

Why do I want to invest my time?
* I'm already totally convinced of the framework idea.
* There are many frameworks, why why RoR?
** I just love the idea of convention over configuration
** I have the impression that people who invested there time in RoR have
a passion for their work, they are opinionized and professional.
** Who doesn't want to join that 'crew'?


Kind regards,
Pj

[Rails] Re: Complex forms: only one level of “arra yness” is allowed?

2009-04-15 Thread PJ

Thanks Fred.

Considering there is a bit of "wizardry" that needs to be done and
that Rails doesn't include helpers to do this simply, does it mean it
is not recommended to build such complex forms?

I am not very experienced with Rails, but I love the fact it is very
"clean" and I feel a bit cautious having to generate keys manually.

[Rails] Complex forms: only one level of “arrayn ess” is allowed?

2009-04-15 Thread PJ

Hi all,

I thought I was trying to do something rather simple, but it has
caused me a lot of headaches. Here it is:

- in my program: model_a has_many model_b. model_b has_many model_c.

- in the user interface, I would like the user to be able to fill the
information for one model_a, one or more associated model_bs
(corresponding fields could be added with a set of links 'add/remove a
model_b'), and for each model_b added, one or more model_c (with the
same mechanism).

Thanks to the great tutorial "Handle multiple models in one form",
it's easy to handle the first step (any number of model_b per
model_a), but I can't get the second step to work. The natural
indexing should (I think) be:

"model_a[model_b_attributes][][model_c_attributes][][an_attribute]"

But it doesn't seem to work. I read here 
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/form_helpers.html
that "only one level of “arrayness” is allowed" and that I should use
hashes instead, but I am not quite sure I understand how to do it.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks a lot
PJ
