Learning a new language

One of the things I hate most about this is how slooowwwwwwww it is. You know you are going to get there, but boy does it take time.
RoR is proving to be a tricky beast. All that is great about it is also all that is bad. The abstraction is great when it works, but when it doesn't - grrrr.
Having cut my teeth on PHP and writing SQL statements it is so frustrating knowing that you know how to do what you want, but getting the RoR framework to do your bidding is the devil's own business.
Still we will get there.

Currently still grasping at associations. Everytime I think I have got them grasped, they slip through your fingers.
Grappling with a "
NameError in Stored filesController#index
uninitialized constant StoredFilesController::StoredFiles"

But we'll get there. Have to say loving the console - being able to try stuff out before you buy - lovely.
