Topic: Rule of Thumb for Generating Controllers

I've just started learning rails and haven't tackled any projects yet however I have a question about controllers.

Is there any rules that apply when deciding how many controllers to generate?  Can I have one controller for several views or is it just one controller per view?

Re: Rule of Thumb for Generating Controllers

Normally there are several views per controller, but it is best to keep it minimal and very focused. If a controller starts having multiple scopes, I try to split it into more than one.
