Mmmm the book RailsSpace probably had a section on that, I can’t  
remember. It will probably be useful to you anyway.

I think you have to buy the book. But if you have OReilly Safari library  
subscription, then you can read it there. There are videos for most  
chapters of the book as well on Safari. The book is truly amazing.  
[http://www.railsspace.com](http://www.railsspace.com) for more details.
