[LRUG] Embarrassing Newbie question

[Roland Swingler]

One thing to bear in mind is that your "cases of more complexity" may
well end up being in the model layer, but not being ActiveRecords -
not all your models need to be persisted. This fits well with the
current view of "Fat Model Skinny Controller" (google for discussion),
whereby the controller is really just allowing consistent,
'resourceful' HTTP access to your application model.

Cheers,
Roland
