Create a working Web application from a MySQL database using the new Generate script and MyActiveRecord.
As required by Internet law, we will be creating a blog.
I cover installing the system on a Web server, modeling the application in the database, generating the code, and viewing the final application from the server. Along the way, I show some errors I made and how to debug them.
Download Generate from https://github.com/walterdavis/generate and read more about MyActiveRecord at https://github.com/walterdavis/myactiverecord . If you’ve used that system before, understand that Generate uses a new version of MAR, not yet released into the wild, with some very different syntax to make it conform more nearly to the Rails conventions.
