Follwed a Guide at

a scafffold as

rails generate scaffold Post name:string title:string content:text
The content of app/view/posts/
index.html.erb file are as under

Listing posts

<% @posts.each do |post| %>

<% end %>
Name Title Content
<%= post.name %> <%= post.title %> <%= post.content %> <%= link_to 'Show', post %> <%= link_to 'Edit', edit_post_path(post) %> <%= link_to 'Destroy', post, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %>

<%= link_to ‘New Post’, new_post_path%>

    is it will execute when at least one post will be created??)

  2. <%= post.name %> <%= post.title %> <%= post.content %>

See in app/controller/post_controller.rb file

in that there is a code for index in

def index
.
.
.

end

when you make any request above function will call first and then goes
to
index.html.erb file.
Now you can explore more things by tracing the code.
