Re: Tutorial : Create a blog using Ruby on Rails 2. (Part 1 – Relationships)

Poorly formatted and lacks clear description. A tutorial should be a constructive narrative, not a terse recipe.

My favorite bit from the tutorial is this hunk of meaninglessness: "Create some categories and then try creating posts. You`ll see that we have got our final result."

Yeah, you got a final result all right.

I have a question about what you might, I suppose, call transitivity. For example, consider the last image of a graph in your post. Could you say there is an edge E(v1,v2) since there is a path from v1 to v2 via v3?

Perhaps you could write E(v1, v3, v2), which might reduce to E(v1, v2)?

I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask...(also, I'm sorry to ask an elementary question. you're not here to teach math. I'm trying to find an answer to it myself right now.)

what does out of bounce mean?

Do you mean out of bounds or out of balance?
