How to structure Ruby on Rails website -

I'm eager to learn Ruby and Ruby on the rail. I have past experience with PHP and some basic C / Objective C and Java.

I have done a few 'tutorials with the tracks' tutorial and now want to try to create the whole site. I have a few questions.

Is the entire website an app? I mean, sure, simple 'blog-with-comment' examples are fit in the same app. But what if you want more? Say, a forum, a blog, community, shop, task manager and so on (only random examples are here ... :)).

Am I supposed to split these things into separate 'apps'?

Any ideas?

I still need them to communicate with each other and to share user data ...

< Div class = "post-text" itemprop = "text">

In general, your main qualification as a Rail application - that you provide the highest value for your users. After that you can supplement from there, so your support section may be GetSatisfaction and live on support.yourdomain.com.

There may be a link to your shop page on your online shop, shop.yourdomain.com and more.
