Comments

"This has been a great exercise for me and has really made me more comfortable with the framework."

"This is my first ever project in Wheels, and I was thrilled about the contest since it gave me a deadline. "

"So far I've found this to be a pretty neat framework. I see a lot of similarity to Rails. The documentation is very good."

I know the entries would really like feedback on their code. So have at it :-)

The Learning Wheels Litepost Contest is wrapping up on Feb 19th. It is meant for a hopefully, quick and simple intro into Wheels.
