Ruby: Modules, Mixins, Fixins, and Rails - Controlling the Situation
(Page 4 of 4 )
To make an application work, you first need a controller. The controller is the evil overseer, the big boss, the big cheese, the head honcho, the imperial slave-driver. He is that guy that says: "I think the benefits of slavery outweigh its drawbacks" and then makes you carry heavy boulders back and forth.
To create this big galoot we use the following ruby command: ruby script/generate controller controllername. Below we will create a controller named Willis, in the hopes of later learning what the heck he was talking about:
ruby script/generate controller Willis
If you go to rubymyfirsttimeappcontrollers you will see a file name willis_controller.rb. This is the file you just created.
