I think the guide Getting Started with Rails isn’t quite complete.  
Following along with your theme, you should create an action in the Post  
controller called “get”.

Don’t worry, you are in good company with lots of other authors, who  
don’t consider the names they use in their code very carefully, which  
makes their work amateurish and confusing for beginners.

That’s not one of the traditional REST actions (show is normally used  
for that). If you want to give feedback on the docs, the #docrails  
channel on freenode isn’t a bad place.
