Learning Node: Well, one Rails aside

Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

After denouncing the use of Ruby and Rails terms to describe Node and Node modules, I must now confess that I did use a Rails resource in the section on MVC in Chapter 6.

The Rails Guide has an absolutely beautifully written overview on MVC and routing, Rails Routing from the Outside In, I used as inspiration for the design of the MVC section in Chapter 6.

However, in my defense I’ll note that most of this overview really doesn’t depend on knowing either Ruby or Rails in order to benefit from the writing. It simply and easily demonstrates a mapping between HTTP verbs, routes, controller actions, and database CRUD (Create-Read-Update-Delete) probably better than anything else I’ve ever read.
