Summary:
 The Haml templating language allows you to
intersperse HTML tags with Ruby code for your
views. The result of evaluating Ruby code can either
be discarded or interpolated into the HTML page.
 For conciseness, Haml relies on indentation to reveal
HTML element nesting.
 Convention over configuration is used to determine
the file names for controllers and views
corresponding to a given model.

 If the RESTful route helpers are used, as in
resources :movies, convention over configuration
also maps RESTful action names to controller action
(method) names.
 Rails provides various helper methods that take
advantage of the RESTful route URIs, including
link_to for generating HTML links whose URIs refer
to RESTful actions.
