There was some information regarding nesting resources inside a  
namespace such as an admin function. Could someone point me toward a  
good tutorial or documentation explaining how to use this feature?

Its fairly simple, the API docs for it aren’t too bad  
[http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Routing/RouteSet/Mapper.html#M000351](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Routing/RouteSet/Mapper.html#M000351)

Easiest thing would be to write something like

map.namespace(:admin) do |route|  
route.resources :articles  
end

then run the `rake routes` task to see what it effectively generates

Thank you Geoff. I’ll do both and and figure it out from there.
