Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe in your own words the Rails request/response cycle for viewing an animals detail page	On the home page the user clicks on the name or picture of an animal. The browser sends an http request (the request has two parts, it contains the method GET and the path). Rails compares the request to each of the routes until it finds a match, then it locates the method in the controller whose name matches the name in the route. The method, in this case show, is executed. The argument ID is passed to the find method, which retrieves the corresponding Animal object from the database and assigns it to a variable. Rails looks for a template whose name matches the action name and renders it, using the object from the controller. The rendered page is then sent to the controller, that sends it to the browser.
Describe one area of Rails that you gained more clarity on with this assignment	I definitely gained more clarity on how routes work and how different parts of rails are connected. I have also realized how much we have learned and how much I need to repeat all the steps, because at the beginning of this project I have already forgotten how to create the model. :)
Is there a specific piece of code you'd like more feedback on?	Not a specific part.
What is one aspect of this project that surprised you?	That with practice I was able to write the app quicker than I thought. Also trying to do any styling can get very complicated very quickly.
