Hi,

Who does not like $USD, and everyone thinks they are nice to have it.

Yes… Its the same way, it would be nice to remember all those 7 assets  
in your scaffolding.

I created a ShortName called " NICEUSD " that helps you remember all the  
time.

N stands for " NEW "  
I stands for " INDEX "  
C stands for " CREATE "  
E stands for " EDIT "  
U stands for " UPDATE "  
S stands for " SHOW "  
D stands for " DELETE "

I hope this one little word, will help you remember all 7 assests of  
Scaffolding.

Thanks

Nice idea, Rahil.

A minor point that might be useful: my spell-check didn’t like  
“ShortName”. I recommend “acronym” :')

Best wishes  
Richard
