 Description:
     The resource generator creates an empty model, controller, and functional

     The generator takes the name of the model as its first argument. This
     model name is then pluralized to get the controller name. So "resource

     As additional parameters, the generator will take attribute pairs
     described by name and type. These attributes will be used to

     You don't have to think up all attributes up front, but it's a good
     idea of adding just the baseline of what's needed to start really
     working with the resource.
