Wow! Great design, nice clean look to it. congratulations on your first rails app. To add to mechanical_fish's comment, David Black's "Ruby for rails" is a good book. Another good book which I have not read, but have heard great things of, is Peter Cooper's book. Again, congratulations! Great work... Along a similar note, I wish I could work along these lines. I tend to be too much of an academic, and spend endless weeks reading about whatever (rails in this case) and never actually get down to implementing much, then get attracted to the next new shiny toy, and move on. So from my perspective, great job!
