More concise edit methods

def edit
@item = Item.find(params[:id])

redirect_to :action=>:list if (request.post? and
@item.update_attributes(params[:item]))
end

I could probably condense it into one line (something like
…and(@item=Item.update…)), but I’ll probably actually use:

def edit
@item = Item.find(params[:id])

if request.post? and @item.update_attributes(params[:item])
flash[:notice] = ‘Item updated.’

redirect_to :action=>:list

end
end

I like this readable conciseness that’s easily possible in Ruby/Rails.
