I’m curious if anybody has developed a handy Rails Quick Reference,  
perhaps  
something like the “Ruby Cheat Sheet” I’ve seen?

The problem is I have yet to write enough Rails code to have all of the  
scaffolds commited to memory. It seems like when I want to start a new  
project I have to return to the Rails book for a refresher, but  
unfortunately not a concise enough one.

Thanks for any help.

Try [http://cwilliams.textdriven.com/files/rails\_cheatsheet.gif](http://cwilliams.textdriven.com/files/rails_cheatsheet.gif).

We liked it so much we blogged about it on our site  
([www.softiesonrails.com](http://www.softiesonrails.com)). Really helpful for someone like me who’s  
coming for a Windows/C#/C++ background and is still adjusting to the  
“convention over configuration” concept, which does require more  
memorization that I’m used to.

Thanks, this sounds exactly like what I need. Unfortunately, site seems  
to  
be down right now. I’ll keep trying… anybody have a copy they stored  
locally?
