Some notes from reading [Agile Web Development With Rails] ISBN:097669400X

I'm surprised that the templates they generate use HttpGet for deletes and edits.

I'm chewing over whether data validation (non-nulls, etc.) should happen in the RDBMS rather than in the code. At least for the rules that are simple enough to be easily expressed in the db engine.

• of course, this assume that you're not using some either kind of Data Store which might not have such validation capabilities built in....
