    <p><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: I'm a c# ASP.NET developer learning "RoR". Sorry if this question doesn't "get" RoR, any corrections greatly appreciated!</p> <h1>What is multithreading</h1> <p>My understanding of "multithread" ability in web apps is twofold:</p> <ol> <li>Every time a web/app server receives a request it can assign a thread to the new request, thus multiple requests can run concurrently.</li> <li>The app runtime + language allows for multiple threads to be used WITHIN a single request (in ASP.NET via "Async" methods and keywords <strong>for example</strong>).</li> </ol> <p>In this way, IIS7 + ASP.NET can do points 1 AND 2.</p> <h1>I'm confused about RoR</h1> <p>I've read these two articles and they have left me confused:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://ikaisays.com/2012/10/04/clearing-up-some-things-about-linkedin-mobiles-move-from-rails-to-node-js/" rel="noreferrer">Clearing up some things about LinkedIn mobile’s move from Rails to node.js</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.jordanhollinger.com/2011/04/23/how-to-deploy-a-multi-threaded-rails-app" rel="noreferrer">How to deploy a multi-threaded Rails app</a></li> </ul> <h2>question one.</h2> <p>I think I understand that RoR doesn't lend itself very well to point number 2 above, that is, having multiple threads within the same request, have I got that right?</p> <h2>question two.</h2> <p>Just to be crystal clear, RoR app/web servers can also do point number 1 above right (that is, multiple requests can run concurrently)? is that not always the case with RoR?</p>

    1. COhey boltclock, could you leave at least one asp.net tag? Usually developers aren't learning from scratch, but instead migrating, and I think having the ASP.NET tag is helpful for other c sharpers...? For example, I much rather prefer "Objective C for c# developers", than, "learn Objective C without any context!" ;-)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
