add request cycle and more detailed explanation of mvc #636

Open CZagrobelny opened 6 years ago

CZagrobelny commented 6 years ago

This PR Contains:

  1. Minor syntax/grammar changes
  2. More in depth explanation of migrations.
  3. Swap written description of files created by scaffolding with written/visual/exercise-based explanation.
  4. Remove nesting for the Rails Architecture page, expanded explanation of MVC and it's role in the request cycle with diagram to demonstrate.

We workshopped these changes over the course of a year with the NYC Railsbridge workshops. We found that a deeper understanding of MVC, Request Cycle, and Databases was very helpful throughout the Intro to Rails tutorial. We also saw real value in substituting visuals and exercises with text where possible.
