Learn With Me - API

This application was created for a Learn With Me session at CodeNewbie. This session is dedicated to learning the basics of building an API for a Ruby on Rails application, and we will be following along with this blog post from The Codelation Blog in order to construct a basic API.

About the Application

rails -v: 4.1.4
ruby -v: 2.0.0p481

This application has two models with corresponding RESTful controllers & pages - Artist and Album. Artist has_many albums and Album belongs_to artist. An Artist has & must have a name. An Album has & must have both a title and an artist_id. Models and controllers are tested using ActiveSupport::TestCase and fixtures. The layouts are built using the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem.

We will be working on the branch 'build-api'.
