Week 5 Day 4

Exercise: Employee Database App

We reinforced our rails knowledge with another solo project.  We built an employee database web application in rails. I feel finally pretty good about my rails knowledge in that I think I understand everything.  Here's are some of things I learned today:

Nested Forms. Used when you create two objects with a single submit.  But there is a caveat: If one of the objects created is in a join table, then a nested form is not necessary.

Inverse of.  You use this in nested forms when the two objects you create haven't been saved in the database (ie. no id's) but they need to be linked to each other in order to pass validations.

Source.  Used in a through association when the association name changes:  has_many :members, :through => :team_membership, :source => :student
