Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe in your own words what the Model is doing in Rails	The model essentially is representative of the data for the app, often linked in a database. It contains the state of the app, but has no knowledge of user interfaces so it can be reused.
Describe in your own words what the Controller is doing in Rails	The controller receives events from the outside world (usually from views) and it interacts with the model. It also determines the next step in the process flow and often is responsible for notifying the view of state changes.
Describe in your own words what the View is doing in Rails	The view generates the interface which is presented to the user. It doesn't process as it is passive. It is such that the views work is considered 'done' once the data is displayed to the user. Many views can access the same model for different reasons.
What is the purpose of using strong params? (i.e. the params method in the controller)	Strong params provide an interface that protects attributes from end-user assignment. Basically it chooses what can be updated, marks things as 'safe', and prevents potential updates by a user of model attributes of a more sensitive nature.
How are Rails migrations related to Rails models?	Rails migrations provide update to the structure of the database which is contained in a Rails model.
Describe one area of Rails that are still unclear on	I'm feeling much more confident about Rails, however, though I did not have time to dedicate to designing it, I do feel like I would like better understanding of how to best create HTML in rails, the interface is important for the user and when I had started to do some design initially, I did come across some confusion where I 'broke' things so getting a better understanding of that meshing is what I need to become more clear on. I'm sure there is something else, but as I'm still learning, we will see how this changes.

don't forget to end your footer with a </footer>, this affects a bunch of pages

You didn't make a strong params method in the controller, but you mentioned in the comprehension question answers exactly what strong params are! You can use them here.

Works well! Good job overall, just left a few comments for you.
