Is a controller called "home" sort of a standard or best practice?

[Don Schenck]

Is it pretty much a standard, best practice or just a good idea to create a controller called "home" and put, say, my web sites home page ('index.html.erb') there??

[Dheeraj Kumar]

Well, the name of the controller can differ, but yes, that's how most apps render their homepage.

Some call it home, some call it welcome, root, etc, whatever. It is
common practice to have SOME kind of controller, just because you need
a controller (unless the page is completely static), to hold common
top-level pages like Home, About, Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy,
"Thanks for visiting, come back soon" (i.e., you just logged out),
etc. etc. etc.

One action to rule them all, one action to find them. One action to
bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Naturally, Ryan Bates has a RailsCast about this:

http://railscasts.com/episodes/117-semi-static-pages
http://railscasts.com/episodes/117-semi-static-pages-revised

(That second one might require a membership to see, not sure, didn't want to log out to find out.)
