I’m following the Ruby of Rails getting started guide, and I see this code in the layout file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Blog</title>
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %>
    <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
    <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
  </head>
  <body style="background: #EEEEEE;">

    <%= yield %>

  </body>
</html>

Coming from an MVC3 background, is this the equivalent to the RenderContent() method one would invoke from the _layout.cshtml file?

    The functionality is about the same in that context, yes. However, yield in general is a keyword in the ruby language, concerning blocks. You can find more information here: ruby blocks.

    Building on that, you are able to provide content for different parts, using content_for(:something) and yield :something (the yield passes :something to the layout engine, the layout engine fills in the content for it).
