Adding First Code

Now would be a good time to add a little code of your own to the project. We'll start by adding a static index page and a static post detail page. You will learn to create new actions and modules and how to use routing and template variables. You'll also learn how to retrive and validate request parameters. The resulting application is also available as http://www.agavi.org/guide/stages/stage2.tgz tarball.
