self-teaching w tests
testing, add sessions
fleshing out session
starting towards active record integration
beginning migrations, in the envi file
running tests, moving migrations from environment to own files in db/, make inhereit from AR
built first migration, up and down
swapped directories to maintain commit hx, created migrations for other models, created database by running the up and down methods via irb
connecting prog to AR, hit problems with saving - cannot save objects if theres an intialize in your class, because it overwrites the active record version. solution: remove initialize, attr_accessors, and change to definiting the relationships via AR relations- has_many, belongs_to etc
