3.5. Looking Ahead

In the first three chapters, you learned how to build models, views, and controllers. In the next few chapters, we'll continue to flesh out the Photo Share application. First, we'll use scaffolding to rapidly build the user interface. Then, we'll extend the resulting application through controllers and views. You'll have a full working application a few hours from now.
