I never understood why the stylesheets and scripts are outside the /app folder in ruby on rails. Is there benefits of housing them in the /public folder away from the /app?
Thank!
Matt
In production environment,
/appis served by Ruby appserver, i.e mongrel, thin, unicorn, etc, while/publicis served by a webserver that is better in serving static content, i.e nginx. Sometimes you would also want to decouple/publicto be served by a CDN, i.e Amazon S3. Decoupling this two directory provides better deployment arrangement in production environment.
