4. EDIT ruby database so it points to database — “config/database.yml”
5. Create model of table: go to apps directory “ruby script\generate model TABLE_NAME (i.e. recipe)” [SINGULAR]
6. Create controller of table: go to apps dire “ruby script\generate controller TABLE_NAME (i.e. recipe)” [SINGULAR]
7. Edit controller so it creates scaffold: “scaffold :TABLE_NAME” [SINGULAR]
