IDE RubyMine を使用して Web ベースの Ruby プログラムを作成しています。
私はいくつかのクラスを持っています:
application_controller.rb:
class application_controller < ActionController::Base
# To change this template use File | Settings | File Templates.
# require './course_modules.rb'
def initialize
  self.class.main_menu
end
=begin
  def navigateTo(what)
    what.new(v).display
    mainMenu
  end
=end
def self.main_menu
  puts "What would you like to do?
      1: Add module to a scheme
      2: Remove module from a scheme
      3: Query modules
      4: Modify module
      5: Register a student on a scheme
      6: Remove a student from a scheme
      7: Register a student on a module
      8: Remove a student from a module"
  case gets.strip
