Rails Workflow

Via this tutorial.

A recommended workflow for creating Rails Application is as follows:

1. Use the rails command to create the basic skeleton of the application.
2. Create a database on the MySQL server to hold your data.
3. Configure the application to know where your database is located and the login credentials for it.
4. Create Rails Active Records ( Models ) because they are the business objects you'll be working with in your controllers.
5. Generate Migrations that makes creating and maintaining database tables and columns easy.
6. Write Controller Code to put a life in your application.
7. Create Views to present your data through User Interface.
