The following is reference material, and not required reading. For a deeper understanding however it is recommended. For some topics, multiple links have been provided to give different explainations and viewpoints on the topics.

class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Other stuff should go up here, the following is an example of attr_accessible to allow mass assignment
  # Mass assignment is when you do something like Book.create(title: "1984")
  attr_accessible :title

These need to be backed up by a migration to create the assemblies_parts table. This table should be created without a primary key:

class CreateAssembliesPartsJoinTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :assemblies_parts, id: false do |t|
      t.integer :assembly_id
      t.integer :part_id
    end
 end

This should probably be a blog post, but if I do that then I want to make it readable to others. 

Anyway, I want to get more awesome at the following things (which I already know a bit about each)

- C
- Haskell
- Go
- Python
- Javascript
- Postgres
