Hi,

I am new to Ruby on Rails. I’m trying to find resources to read  
regarding the difference between generate scaffold, model, controller  
and resource commands.

Could anyone please help? Thanks!

Kevin.

Have you read each generator’s description? It gives you a pretty good  
explanation. If you haven’t here’s how to do it:

ruby script/generate resource  
ruby script/generate controller  
ruby script/generate model  
ruby script/generate scaffold
