Ruby on Rails Routing
Introduction
The Rails router recognizes URLs and dispatches them to a controller's action. It can also generate paths and URLs, avoiding the need to hardcode strings in your views.
Remarks
"Routing" in general is how URL's are "handled" by your app. In Rails case it's typically which controller and which action of that controller will handle a particular incoming URL. In Rails apps, routes are usually placed in the config/routes.rb file.
