Confusion

I’ll be honest, I’m still pretty confused about the ‘best’ way to build the Longest Streak app. My first attempt was to just build it in plain ruby and then dump the data into a database, but once I got the database part I got really confused about how I was supposed to test my application. I really want to be writing tests and I also want to turn Longest Streak into an API so I decided to start over and turn it into a Rails Application. Still not sure if this is the right choice or not, mainly because I don’t have a clear picture of the development path going forward, but the only way I know how to procede that this point is to just start and figure it out a long the way.
