+== Breakpoints
+
+Breakpoint support is available through the script/breakpointer client. This
+means that you can break out of execution at any point in the code, investigate
+and change the model, AND then resume execution! Example:
+
+ class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+ def index
+ @posts = Post.find_all
+ breakpoint "Breaking out from the list"
+ end
+ end
+
+So the controller will accept the action, run the first line, then present you
+with a IRB prompt in the breakpointer window. Here you can do things like:
+
+Executing breakpoint "Breaking out from the list" at .../webrick_server.rb:16 in 'breakpoint'
+
+ >> @posts.inspect
+ => "[#<Post:0x14a6be8 @attributes={\"title\"=>nil, \"body\"=>nil, \"id\"=>\"1\"}>,
+ #<Post:0x14a6620 @attributes={\"title\"=>\"Rails you know!\", \"body\"=>\"Only ten..\", \"id\"=>\"2\"}>]"
+ >> @posts.first.title = "hello from a breakpoint"
+ => "hello from a breakpoint"
+
+...and even better is that you can examine how your runtime objects actually work:
+
+ >> f = @posts.first
+ => #<Post:0x13630c4 @attributes={"title"=>nil, "body"=>nil, "id"=>"1"}>
+ >> f.

+
+== Console
+
+You can interact with the domain model by starting the console through script/console.
+Here you'll have all parts of the application configured, just like it is when the
+application is running. You can inspect domain models, change values, and save to the
+database. Start the script without arguments to see the options.
