Sample app to base our code reading on

Well @samnang mentioned somewhere about railscasts covering active_admin in an episode and I know ryan bates keeps all his code on github to share. I took a look at what the repo contains and he has kindly included before and after folders - i.e. a basic shop app with no backend admin and then the same shop app with active_admin.

So if you want to get up to speed I suggest forking the repo, follow his screencast using the before version to build the backend and get familiar with active_admins usage.

The episode uses rails 3.1 and the then latest version of active_admin - will its features have changed that much by then? Probably not (says crossing fingers).

turns out the railscasts store isnt that complicated - probably would only take 3 mintutes to have rolled your own. Still at least everyone is on the same page with it.
