What Is The Asset Pipeline? -With Rails 3.1 comes a new feature known as the asset pipeline. The asset pipeline provides features that have usually been implemented by external gems, such as Jammit and Sprockets.

The asset pipeline provides features that have usually been implemented by external gems, such as "Jammit":http://documentcloud.github.com/jammit and "Sprockets.":http://getsprockets.org These gems are popular for being able to serve concatenated or compressed versions of the assets of an application, such as Cascade Style Sheets (CSS) or JavaScript (JS) files so that the number of requests made to the server are reduced, making the page load faster.

This is not to say that assets can (or should) no longer be placed in +public+. They still can be, they will just be served by the application or the web server which is running the application and served just like normal files.
