The Big Picture

Model, Views, and Controllers in separate directories.
URL Mapping: http://jmvidal.cse.sc.edu/controller/action
- The controller is a class.
- The actions are methods on this class.
The Model inherits from ActiveRecord.
- It maintains a mapping from model to database. No need to code SQL.
- You update models using migrations.
The Views are standard templates which can access methods from their model.
The name of model classes is important, as we shall see.
