Most of the time when you have a webapp, you probably want to have some "pretty URLs" for certain resources. For example, you may offer your users the ability to have domain.com/users/my-super-cool-url. The nice thing is, with Rails, this is incredibly easy to do with the Friendly Gem. In this video, I show you just how easy it is.

My name is David W Parker and I’m creating and publishing videos on ProgrammingTIL to help teach anyone and everyone who wants to code. I’m a huge fan of Ruby on Rails, Svelte, TailwindCSS, and WebGL. I’ve used React a lot in the past, as well as some Vue and AngularJS. I’ve done some professional Python and Django. I like to create real applications and my tutorials will walk you through how to build something real from beginning-to-end.
