Understanding Ruby Rendering

I am very new to ruby on rails and I am using Ruby version 1.9 and its newer syntax.

I have managed to create a small application where I store statistics in 1 large database table. This table can be viewed and edited with no problems via rails.

Now, I am trying to add several different mini views of this table to the Home page, Where I might list the top 10 users by upload then download.
I have successfully created the 1st for upload, is there away I can use the same code with different query options.

  1. Are there any good tutorials in this area?

  2. Is it relatively easy to add graphs from the same table on to the home page?

  3. Is it possible to make the homepage refresh when ever a change occurs in the database table?

  4. I know I am probably asking very basic questions so any pointers to good tutorials or books would be of great help.
