I'm not sure if you don't think Inversion of Control (Dependency Injection)
applies to rails, but I've already read some from people who are using it to
enable mocking in their unit tests.

Or maybe you thought I was talking about subversion source control...

Either way, your tips are greatly appreciated. I will be referring to the
svn article soon. I think unit testing and db migration are next up. I've
just been throwing things around at this point, and don't have any
significant db stuff. just two tables from example articles: people & phones
tables.

I've gotten no less than 6 recommends for the Agile Rails book. I'll have to
pick it up soon.


Definitely recommend (as time, energy, understanding permits)
