[Nitro] Basic Stuff...

[Emmanuel Piperakis]

Hello everyone,
I have some basic questions. I am new to Ruby, very new to Nitro, and and 
some some experience with Rails. I built an app in Rails, and new my 
version 2 has to be in Nitro. I am a relatively experienced java 
developer. I give you my background so that you can answer to my questions 
appropriatly :-)

So, let me begin:
1) How does the controller connect to the view? In the blog example does 
each function in the controller correspond to a view file with the same 
filename as the function name? (like in rails?)

2) Must there be one controller per table in the db? (I guess not based on 
the examples, but I must ask)

3) in the run.rb file of blog example: I understand the Localization and 
Og setup directives, but not the rest.
3a) Where is the api for the Rendering? what is a shader? and why does it 
get passed the LocalizationShader?
3b) The dispatcher starts 3 controllers? Is the first a default AKA :root? 
and the rest are named 'xml' and 'api'. Are these specific names denoting 
something? What is the ApiController for? I can not see it being used 
somewhere. What is the XmlController for? Why do we need 3?

4) What conf. directives are there and where is the info about them?

Sorry for the basic type of questions, but I believe that not everything 
is obvious to newbies like myself :-/

Thank you in advance..
