[Rails] (resend - sorry!) Which controllers?

[Dylan Stamat]

Hey Tony !

You should get the Agile Rails Book, and read it too :)
Creating a logical controller structure if pretty darn easy... for instance,
some of my controllers are:
admin_controller.rb, animal_controller.rb, blog_controller.rb

It all makes sense when you read the book, and most importantly, start
getting your hands dirty creating your application !

Have fun too !
