I would also like to know how i can add more functionality to the app.
it is built with Ruby on rails.
here is the link to the app: PropertywebBuilder
I have deployed it on Heroku and have been playing around, but would like to learn how to improve and add things to it.
many thanks
You need to learn about Rails no one is just going to code for you, unless you're paying them some serious money at least.
The two best resources that helped me learn Ruby on Rails are below. The first is a free book by Michael Hartl https://www.railstutorial.org/book he also has some screencasts but you have to buy those.
the second resource was a company called the Pragmatic Studio that I actually learned about from reading Hartl's book. https://pragmaticstudio.com/ they offer a low cost Rails I and Rails II course that is extremely good. It got me up and building web apps quickly.

I've almost completed Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial. Absolutely loved it, and loving what I've learnt about Rails.
It occurred to me, that I could reuse most of what we've done for the other app ideas that I have. We have great user registration, authentication, security and testing. It would be 'straightforward' to modify what I have here for other purposes.
I just want to ask if this is a standard practice when building new apps (reusing what you already have), and if there any gotchas or things I've not considered in looking to do so?
Loving getting back into coding, and can't wait to get my first idea out into the wild!
These are the standard practices. But of course it all depends on the requirements, based on requirements you need to modify some things.
Also you can refer guides.rubyonrails.org for more.
One thing that I found useful to do is create a base app that includes an Authentication system such as from the Rails Tutorial book, basic templates with a navigation bar and footer and a home and about page. And I connect Bootstrap. I call it Baseapp and when I start a new app I just copy it to a new folder and rename it. Then start customizing it from there.

I am a beginner at web development and wanted to know where to begin when developing a web application. More specifically I am using RoR and wanted to know is there a particular stack developers start with for instance would it be better to start developing models or views? Or do I have the wrong approach all together.
This will guide you through installation and 'hello world' in rails.
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
And I highly recommend this book, if you are serious about rails. Finish it completely. It would give you insights which might take months to comprehend if you are searching only in web.

Rails sort of has two "default" stacks, as this blog post helpfully explains:
http://words.steveklabnik.com/rails-has-two-default-stacks
You'll see that mr. Klabnik also has some thoughts about the difficulty this creates for new developers. I'd recommend not worrying too much about all the different tools that are available to you at first. Wait until you have a problem or are experiencing some pain and then find a tool to solve that problem. Before that, just jump in and learn as you go. Or at least, that's how I'd approach it, but people learn differently!

I am new in RoR , and I wanted to design a web based system. I want to know , if we don't use association in RoR , do happen any problem in system?
Please help me and explain me what problem could be happen in such a system.
thanks
The associations that Rails provides you gives some methods that would make your querying simpler, more readable, maintainable and effective.
Try writing two versions of a Customer-Orders application and then Customer-Order-Supplier 1) with associations and the other without and perform some different type of queries and see the beauty of queries where associations was exploited. From the queries executed you can also see the time they take from the Rails log. Then go into some more complicated examples to delve deeper. You can find some simple examples to start with in the Rails guides.

I've just started learning Ruby on Rails, and all the tutorials and books I've used rely on scaffolding to get started. I've written two simple apps but I still can't figure out how to independently write a database-driven app without using scaffolding, and yet from what I've read online most professional Rails developers don't use it. Are there any tutorials that would help a newbie create their first app without scaffolding?
This one http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ruby/the-intro-to-rails-screencast-i-wish-i-had/ is pretty good and helpful.
"Rails 3 in Action" is a good resource (I've even bought it ;)), one thing I hate about it is a sort of enforced usage of Cucumber.
Cucumber is a great tool, worth mentioning, but it is used all over the book and it clutters the narrative terribly. I would like to have Cucumber-free version of the book and I belive that most beginners would prefer the same.
Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl: http://www.railstutorial.org/
Best resource for Rails learning I've come across, whether in paper or online.
I'm currently writing a book called Rails 3 in Action that sounds like it would "answer" your question.
Whilst the first chapter does cover scaffolding (just for a "quick win"), the rest of the book goes through and teaches you how to develop an application using the exact same process that people in the real world do.
You'll learn Rails, Cucumber and RSpec, along with the other gems that we pick up along the way of developing the application.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think.
Check out some of the older Railscasts.

I want to build a basic Social networking site in Rails.
Can you please suggest me some ebooks for that or any web resource.
Thanks
Lovd by Less is essentially a "social-network starter kit" built on Rails.
RailSpace By Micheal Hartl. It focuses on Rails 1.1 or 1.2 but I'm sure you'll be able to get rolling with that book.
But if your looking for something specific it would be great if you could list some of your requirements.
.Practical ROR Social networking sites
I can also recommend the Practical ROR Social Networking Sites book that Sid mentioned. I've used it before and it covers pretty much everything you'd want to know about building a "social network" site in Rails.
I can do you one better. http://teachmetocode.com/screencasts/creating-a-twitter-clone-in-rails-part-1
This is the screencast for creating a Twitter clone. It deals with following/follower associations. I practically learned how to make my site using the screen cast.
Site points simply rails 2
http://www.sitepoint.com/books/rails2/
This is a great book to start learning rails with. The book focuses on building a site like Reddit/Digg.
