How to Render Another Controller in Ruby
An application written in the Ruby on Rails programming language uses MVC architecture, short for "models, views and controllers." A model controls how the app stores data, a view displays the data and a controller holds programming logic that connects and manipulates the data for the view. Generally, each segment of your application, such as users, products or profiles, has its own model, views and controller. You can load one set of views through another controller with the render command.
