1.9. What's Next?

You've created a Rails project. You've created a controller and invoked it from a browser. You've also created a view and learned how views can interact with controllers and with the Ruby language. That's a good foundation, but you've seen only two pieces of the model-view-controller design pattern. In the next chapter, you'll learn how models work. We'll create a database schema and let Rails use the schema to generate our model for us. We'll then use a Rails framework to help manage relationships between the different parts of the application.
