It’s a little bit out of date but it only takes about a day for that to
happen Very cool regardless. Glad there is a #2 coming up.
Thanks for the kind words!
Please tell me what is out of date. If you’re talking about the fact that I
didn’t use the helper functions for select/option tags, I did that on
purpose. For anything else, I’d really like to know about it.
Also, I like to get this article slash-dotted. Anyone know how to do that?
Thanks,
Curt

Ah, it didn't take long for this beginner to get stuck
I got as far as creating the recipe_controller.rb and when I opened my browser to "http://127.0.0.1:3000/recipe/new" I got the message "#42000Unknown database 'rails_development'"
My database.yml is exactly as described in the article (i.e. the 3 databases are called "cookbook"), I'm not aware of skipping any of the steps, after triple-checking the whole sequence. I can't even find a file which contains in its contents 'rails_development' in the whole cookbook directory structure.
Googling for this error string didn't turn anything up either.
Any hints anybody? Can I put the framework trace here? Would that help anybody to gently give me a push in the right direction?
Ah, it didn’t take long for this beginner to get stuck
I got as far as creating the recipe_controller.rb and when I opened my
browser to “http://127.0.0.1:3000/recipe/new” I got the message
“#42000Unknown database ‘rails_development’”

databases are called “cookbook”), I’m not aware of skipping any of the
steps, after triple-checking the whole sequence. I can’t even find a
file which contains in its contents ‘rails_development’ in the whole
cookbook directory structure.
The database.yml file originally used “rails_development” as the db name
before you changed it to cookbook, but it sounds like rails isn’t seeing
your change. Are your sure your saved the changes? If so, maybe something
has been cached. Try restarting your web server (or machine).

Submit it to slashdot yourself, article authors have more authority...
I think that is a really good suggestion. It's easy to get an account on /. and submit an article. I checked the faq and nothing is stopping you from submitting this again (and most probably better). There is no penalty or any such thing, on the contrary they even explicitely mention that multiple submission could be the reason why the submission of 1 particular submitter is not published...
Curt, I would go for it if I were you.

Thanks, Curt, restarting the web server did the trick. I should have
thought about that myself, but being a beginner I was *convinced*
that *I* had made a mistake somewhere...
On to the next step, this is going to be a lot of fun, I feel it, you have a very enthousiastic style of writing, it'll be hard NOT to keep going...

I second that. The prose is fantastic- lean, clean, and enthusiastic.

Yes, Curt, and if your ego isn't just completely inflated at this
point, I'll throw in my two cents too. This is a really well-written
tutorial (which I'm working through as we speak) and it's a great
addition to the growing body of quality Rails (and Ruby)
documentation.

I appreciate your two cents!
Anyway, if my ego was getting to inflated, this comment on /. would be sure
to ground me:
Very cool regardless. Glad there is a #2 coming up.
Looks like I've run out of
