From 4316f2abedf50f7c6bf405935693c63042b75ee6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Powers Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 00:25:41 -0500 Subject: Update getting_started.md It may be confusing to a Rails newbie why "Article" is suddenly being referred to with the "A" being capitalized. Thus far in the guide, the "a" has always been in lowercase. I think it is helpful to point out the reason for this change (especially since not using the capital "A" will result in an error).

In the first line we do just that (remember that `@article.save` is responsible for saving the model in the database. Finally, we redirect the user to the `show` action, which we'll define later. +TIP: You might be wondering why the `A` in `Article.new` is capitalized above, whereas most other references to articles in this guide have used lowercase. In this context, we are referring to the class named `Article` that is defined in `\models\article.rb`. Class names in Ruby must begin with a capital letter. + TIP: As we'll see later, `@article.save` returns a boolean indicating whether the article was saved or not. -- cgit v1.2.3
