Building such a web app is certainly fun, but sometimes things can go wrong and it becomes frustrating. Overall, I enjoyed a lot working on this project. And I have much appreciation for the excellent tutorials by the awesome people at JumpstartLab, the invaluble RailsCasts, and ultimately stackoverflow.
