The Rails Drag and Drop Designer

by Huw Collingbourne
New tutorial movie
Saturday 3 May 2008.
 
I’ve just put online another short (5 minute) movie that shows a simple step-by-step example of how to design HTML pages for your Rails applications just by dragging and dropping controls from the Toolbox into a web page.

There are examples of two controls in this movie:
- 1) an image. I show how you can use a trick of the Visual Rails Workbench to ensure that your image paths are correct both at design-time and runtime.
- 2) a model-aware text field. I show how you can drag a control into a page and ‘wire it up’ to a field in the database table.

This is the third in a series of short tutorial screencasts. View it HERE or visit the Movies Page to watch them all.
