routing for nested resources

Readme.md

SurveyApp

This should give you all the REST routes for surveys and survey_sections, namespaced under admin, as well as the path and url helpers admin_sections_path, etc. Typing all this on my phone so just running this example might not work so good.

Check out the Rails Guide for routing, especially the nested resources section: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#nested-resources
