User-generated database entries in rails

I am trying to do something in Rails and will admit that I'm no genius programmer, but I'm attempting to learn.

I want to create a database with user-generated entries of no specific number. The best example of what I am trying to do can be illustrated by twitter. I assume every time the user adds a new tweet it adds a row to the users tweet database.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find resources to help me do this?

Thanks!

This is a very broad question. Have you tried some of the Rails tutorials? The main Ruby on Rails website has recently put up a bunch of new guides that you might want to start with.

I apologize! I'll try to be more specific. I want users to be able to log in to their account, and there will be a text field where they can enter a string and click "submit". This string will be stored in a database as a row. Ideally afterwards I will add some ajax so that it immediately appears below the text field. Pretty much identical to how twitter works. Any guides in particular I should look at?Thanks!

Ryan what you are describing is the most basic thing going on in Rails. There is no better answer than to learn Rails and I second thenduks that the rails guides are the best place to start.

Teach me to code has a series on creating a Twitter clone in Rails. That might be a good start.
