In the Rails guides: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html
It mentions that we have the following in the "routes.rb" file: map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' Now, in completing the tutorial, we will add the following to "routes.rb": map.root :controller => "home" In the first two statements we have :controller, and in the last statement, we have a :controller pointing to a value. How does Rails determine that the first two statements point to a :controller other than the last statement? And, in the last statement, what are we exactly saying?
