Building my own `like` system

Rails
1

I am thinking to build my own like system, as a way of learning
various technologies including Javascript; and to gain a better
understanding of authentication and XSS. Most importantly though, this
will provide a fun project with which to learn Ruby on Rails.

Use-case:

  1. Unique ID generated atop a little bit of Javascript code, for
    embedding in any website
  2. When unique user presses this like button, a +1 is triggered to
    the ‘score’ of that UID
  3. On unique user’s profile, display what they like’d

I’m unsure as where to start… how would I go about building this
system? i.e. Should I be looking at Inoshi?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec T.

Hi!

I recommend the book: “Service Oriented Design with Ruby and Rails” by
Paul

There you will find something similar.
