# When calling a method with a splat then the parameters are passed as a comma separated list
# When receiving arguments with a splat then they are converted into an Array
# When using a double splat (2.0+) then the argument is converted into a Hash (i.e. named parameters)

def foo(*args)
  p args
end

foo 'a', 'b', 'c'
# => ["a", "b", "c"]

1. Add gem 'delayed_job', '2.1.4' to your Gemfile

2. Run bundle install

3. Run rails g migration create_delayed_jobs

4. Edit the created migration to contain:

    class CreateDelayedJobs < ActiveRecord::Migration
      def self.up
        create_table :delayed_jobs, :force => true do |table|
          table.integer  :priority, :default => 0      # jobs can jump to the front of
   

table.integer :attempts, :default => 0 # retries, but still fail eventually

Tested on: Datatable 1.8.2, Rails 3.1.3
This example uses Coffeescript and Haml (you should too :-) )

The following is an example of Datatables server-side processing of a table 
which displays a user's song list including the songs' artist names.  In 
Rails, Song and Artist are ActiveRecord models in a one artist-many song relat.

1a. the Rails controller code

class SongsController < ApplicationController
