Requirements

Create a Rails application that demonstrates a one-to-many model association as shown:

• The appearance/styling of your app doesn't matter.
• The mechanics and business rules of your app should match those found in the Meetup App.
• Your home page should show the list of events.
• Create two resources: events and venues.
• A venue has a name and address.
• An event has a title, date and time, and venue.
• HINT: Rails supports "datetime" as a column type when you generate your model/resource/scaffold that can store the date and time together in a single column.
• A venue holds many events over time.
• An event can only take place at one venue.
• The list of venues must be shown in alphabetical order, both in the master list of venues as well as in any selection lists.
• Each model must have at least one validation rule.
• The UI should display validation error messages if the user tries to save invalid data.
• You should use an application layout to provide a header area with global navigation links that are shared across every page.

Remember these key ideas:

• Model associations are best implemented in the models themselves.
• You'll have to figure out which model gets the foreign key.
• You can use the has_many and belongs_to methods in your models if you want.
• Avoid putting any explicit where clauses or find_by_id calls in your views.
• The collection_select helper method can be tricky. There's an example in the code folder as well as in the model association PDF on the course website.
