As seen in previous projects, we will mockup our application page and create a sample layout similar to Pinterest as follows:
In this section, we will use the carrierwave gem to upload images and resize them into different sizes in order to display them on different pages. For example, we will display thumbnails on listing pages and larger images on individual pages.

$ rails g scaffold board title:string description:text $rails g scaffold pin name:string image:string board_id:integer
We will create an association between pin and board as follows:
models/pin.rb belongs_to :board models/board.rb has_many :pins

models/board.rb belongs_to :user models/user.rb has_many :boards
