• Multiple Layers
• Providing GUI for user
• Encapsulation of Data/Licenses/Validation Checks from End-User

Map SQL Table to a Model
 User (Model)

• Create: Name Occupation

create and save a new record into the database

object can be instantiated without being saved

needs user.save to commit the record to database

yield the new object to a block for initialization

 User (Model)

• Read: Name Occupation

return a collection with all users

return the first user

return the first user named David

find all users named David who are Code Artists and
sort by created_at in reverse chronological order
 User (Model)

• Update: Name Occupation

modify attributes and save to the database

a hash mapping attribute names to the desired value

updating several attributes at once

 User (Model)

• Delete: Name Occupation

Remove object from the database
