Scaffolding in web application frameworks

Scaffolding is a meta-programming method of building database-backed software applications. It is a technique that allows a programmer to qickly generate a skeleton interface that allows the user to perform basic CRUD ( Create Read Update Delete) operations on the application's database. The auto-generated interface can then me modified to perform more powerful tasks.


Why was dynamic scaffolding removed in Rails 2?

Dynamic Scaffolding of Rails 1.x was replaced by a generator of scaffolds in Rails 2. David Heinemeier Hanson responding to a new rails developer on Ruby Forum said "Dynamic Scaffolding didn't really help people learn about Rails or give them a way to modify the generated interface, so we killed it."
