About

• The main learning outcome of this project is to work with Active Record associations and create model relationships that make sense.

• The task is to create a site similar to a private Eventbrite which allows users to create events and then mange user signups.

• The project can be found on The Odin Project: https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/ruby-on-rails-private-events
