Alpha Blog was created as part of my learning of Ruby on Rails, to help me thoroughly understand the many aspects of RoR I did not use Rails scaffolding for this project. In this project I utilised one-to-many associations, many-to-many associations, authentication systems, user validations, paginations and many other Rails functions. This project gave me experience with associations, front-end implementation, back-end implementation using REST architecture and deploying RoR apps to production.
In this app you can sign up as a user and create articles, edit your own articles or delete your article. All articles are displayed in the Article index and Alpha Blog users are all displayed in the User index. Each article is linked to the user who created it and a category if a category was used in the article creation. Alpha Blog has the ability to add admin users, admin users have much broader access and are able to edit any article and delete users.
