I didn't use the right wording here. What I meant was there are different types of logic to use with your model. In otherwords, for every method created there are probably 3 people that will do them completely different but achieve the same result. Remember for loops? Which logic is better to do in the model? A for loop or an each loop? Which is better practice? This is what I was after.

Are you saying that rescue is a bad thing when you need a routine to continue moving forward? Or, are you saying that there's another way (besides rescue) that should be used to do the same thing? I like rescue. I don't use it for everything but there are some core areas in my app that I do use it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
