Understanding Active Record Associations

[@TonyDehnke]

Nice the course docs look great, and doing the database stuff is awesome too say. A lot of tutorials and courses skip or gloss over this stuff.

[@adante407]

This is a great idea for a tutorial. It's great trying to follow along and build stuff, but often I find that leads to blindly following along, and not really understanding what's going on under the hood, why you're using this or that,and what it means. Hopefully you could could possibly make more tutorials along these lines? It's a great help. Thanks.👍

That's my goal alongside putting it to practice with the builds on my channel. There are plenty of core concepts and conventions to the framework that "click" once you understand what's going on. Still learning plenty of new stuff all the time myself!

[@adante407]

@@Webcrunch I am personally finding it pretty hard. People that say Rails is really easy are mistaking the convention as being easy imo. To truly learn it well takes an enormous amount of hard work I believe. But thanks to channels like yours, and other resources its achievable.

Means a lot to hear that. Appreciate it!

Great video. Active record associations are so important when building enterprise level applications. The app I work on at work has so many tables/databases, it’s dizzying. I hope your course uses more than just a few models/tables. Thanks again for the great content and really looking forward to your course.

Thanks Andy! I got out of bed to watch this

[@Webcrunch]

😂 sorry for getting you out of bed

[@weefunkster]

@@Webcrunch This is gold to me. Associations are the hardest thing to get my head around. Even worse than advanced forms.

[@Webcrunch]

Hope I made it a little clearer. They certainly are confusing. A lot happens under the hood with such little code. It throws me off quite often still.
