Title: My response

I began trying to write the submission in Ruby/Rails. However, I am still a bit confused on how RESTful routes are supposed to work. The rails part that I was working on uses the default SQLite database that come standard with rails. It also uses the default WEBrick web server.

I tried asking a friend of mine about what I was doing wrong, and he began trying to explain why I wasn't doing things in a RESTful manner. By this point, almost 24 hours had passed. Since you asked that we not spend more than a few hours in the directions, I began to try and write a script in php to do what was needed. I still didn't have time to debug it before 24 hours had passed since my phone interview.

I think I also messed up my first commit. I've only ever tried the fork/push/pull method on github once. I think I set my remote upstream incorrectly the first time.
