Pretty RESTful URLs in Rails
Since Release 1.2 Rails knows to generate RESTful routes. Each
resource is identified by an URI, which looks like /users/123 . It
would be nice to have more readable URLs, which include the name of
the user: /users/matthias-georgi. This is a short tutorial on making
your urls pretty while retaining the REST approach.
