Re: ruby/rails rookie needs help to build a simple database app

Hi Barry,
I’m sorry all your attempts at learning Ruby and Rails keep ending in
disaster.
Have you tried this? -
https://www.railstutorial.org/book
One of the most popular rails tutorial for beginners.

Also I feel like you will have a much more speedy progress if you had at
least one friend who knows ruby and rails who you can always quickly write
whenever you get stuck.

Most of the errors you are getting are quite easy to bypass in less than a
minute, if you know someone.

I’m willing to be your guide if you want.

Let me know if this works for you.

Mayowa.
