I finally finished my first Ruby on Rails application! It took a little longer to finish than I thought but thanks to some great help from friends and the community, RailFood is now up and running.

RailFood is basically a posting service for the railway industry. Unlike BuyIndie, RailFood allows the users to directly create the content by posting items that they have in stock. To keep everything fresh, I only let things stay online for 30 days.

Actually, perhaps my only bug at this point is that the search controller is still searching items that I have listed as 'expired' because they are still in the database. Once that's done, I think I'll be able to proudly display this app as a small example of something I did.

Now that it's done.. maybe I'll be able to finish some of the other pesky articles I've been meaning to write...
