Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz and I work as a Product Designer at Dribbble. For fun I design, code, and write. Check out my blog called Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com where I publish design and development tutorials with the occasional v-log.

============================ 📹 THIS IS PART 2 of 4

Welcome to my latest Let's Build: With Ruby on Rails series. This build will dive a little deeper into relationships within a Ruby on Rails application and teach you to create a simple messaging app within your main rails app.

Think of the messaging structure like an ongoing conversation. Users can initially create a conversation and always look back to their history. This app is a start to what could be a fully featured messaging area within your own app but I want to introduce new methods include scopes, params, and more that come bundled with Rails.

Kicking things off, literally

I created my own Rails application template called Kick Off of which you are free to use. Follow the steps in the videos to kick off your own projects. You’ll need to clone the repo to your own machine and of course be set up to run Ruby on Rails.

At the time of this recording, I am using Rails 5.2 and Ruby 2.5.1.
