-The +root :to => "welcome#index"+ tells Rails to map requests to the root of the application to the welcome controller's index action. This was created earlier when you ran the controller generator (+rails generate controller welcome index+).
+The +root :to => "welcome#index"+ tells Rails to map requests to the root of the application to the welcome controller's index action and +get "welcome/index"+ tells Rails to map requests to "http://localhost:3000/welcome/index":http://localhost:3000/welcome/index to the welcome controller's index action. This was created earlier when you ran the controller generator (+rails generate controller welcome index+).
 
 If you navigate to "http://localhost:3000":http://localhost:3000 in your browser, you'll see the +Hello, Rails!+ message you put into +app/views/welcome/index.html.erb+, indicating that this new route is indeed going to +WelcomeController+'s +index+ action and is rendering the view correctly.
