Let’s learn Rails in easy way
Rails is so difficult for beginners like me.
I always feel there should be very easy documentation explaining Rails.
I will try to explain the basics of Rails in a easy way.
My idea is to create simple flash cards like when we memorize foreign languages.
Please use the following Q&A with your friend, asking each other.

What is hash in rails?
As well as array, hash is an object to manage multiple objects.
Example : hash1 = { “Andy” => 28, “Bob” => 30, “Keith” => 32, ……..}
Key: Andy, Bob, Keith…
Value: 28, 30, 32….
variable = {key, value} hash1 = { “Andy”, 28 }
variable[:key] = value hash1[“Andy”] = 28

Let’s take an example of database table called “tweets”
This is like an excel sheet.
id text user
1 I’m fine today. Andy
2 I’ve got married! Bob
3 I’ve got new job. Keith
