Subject: Rails 1.0 blues
I am a Rails nubee but not to web app development. I've been pouring
over the docs and tutorials for a week or two. I think have enough
knowledge to start developing, in baby-steps.
At the moment I have a functioning guest-book with the usual CRUD
operations that Rails is so good at. It works well for the single page,
/slurp/topic.
The problem is reuse. What is the natural Rails way to reuse the
guest-book functionality in other controller pages, for example
/book/review.
Does one copy and paste code and templates (and create new table)? I
hope not as this doesn't sound like a proper approach.
Please say it ain't so and convince me not to go back... 
TIA,
