Similar header styles The Wiki header styles h1, h2, h3 etc.. are all almost the same. It is very hard to distinguish the hierarchy. Making h1 for example, into an underlined div would improve the situation significantly.

CRUDs

CRUD stands for Cread, Read, Update, Delete.
The rationale behind CRUD is that a website needs to Create records, Read records, Update records or Delete records.
CRUD operations are implemented in your controller.

One way to implement CRUD in your web application specifically is to use RESTful* design. REST stands for Representational State Transfer.

REST is a design that treats your web resources using standard HTTP methods GET, POST, PUT and DELETE.

So for example URL:
http://www.company.com/products/list
is broken down into a resource part: http://www.company.com/products
and an action "list", which is basically a GET method.

Similarly
http://www.company.com/products/edit/1
is broken down into a resource part: http://www.company.com/products
and an action: edit
with an argument id of the product: 1

There are some generators that create a Controller class for you with all the basic CRUD method stubs, but you can also create them on your own.
The minimum set of methods needed to implement RESTful deisng CRUD is:

• index
  GET request
  URL example: /products/index.rails
  lists all your models (i.e. retrieves all the products in the database)
• show
  GET request
  URL example: /products/show.rails?id=1
  display a particular model
• new
  GET request
  URL example: /products/new
  renders a form for creation of the new product (for example renders a New Product form)
• create
  PUT request
  URL example: /products/create/?title=NewProduct&description=ThisIsDescription
  creates an actual model from the forms submission rendered by new action
• edit
  GET request
  URL example: /products/new/?id=1
  renders an edit view for a particular product
• update
  PUT request
  URL example: /products/edit/?id=1&?title=NewProduct&description=ThisIsDescription
  updates a model based on the data provided in the submitted form (rendered by edit action)
• destroy
  DELETE request
  URL example: /products/destroy/?id=1
  destroys a model with a given id
