@lnxw48a1 Yes, #RoR does handle lots/most/all of that for you! I'm pretty confident that I could get it going with #RoR, but I was trying to get the project done quicker than it'd take me to read the RailsBook and go through its exercises to know what I'm doing.

I've heard of the #Railscasts, but it seems to be dead now. :/ I'll look for other #RoR alternatives. :)

@bthall I'm not a #RoR person by any means, but I believe one of its selling points is that it handles (through ActiveRecord?) all the database gymnastics for you.

What you're describing sounds a lot more manual than what I used to see on #Railscasts. (BTW, even though there haven't been any episodes in a few years, you should check that out if you're interested in #Rails. It did pique my interest.)
