Any better base app than testdrive?

Is there a more comprehensive basic app (with the create/read/update/delete and listings and how theme works) that I can download to speed up the learning curve?

The basic testdrive app do not have all these and I have a tough time understanding how create those myself.

Any pointers is greatly appreciated.

Did you try the blog guide?

Oh… sorry for not going through the docs in detail. Its just too overwhelming for me.

I went through Larry Ullman Employee/Dept guide step by step and glad I did.

Will try the blog app now…

Thanks
