Report Generation in a Ruby Web Application

Question

I've been developing business apps, basically CRUD, in ASP.Net for years now, and am interested in learning another language and platform.

After a few trips to Borders and poking around a bit on the web, I have not found much dealing with generating reports in Ruby / Ruby on Rails apps. These reports would include things like commercial invoices, inventory reports etc.

Can anyone provide some information of how reports are generated in a Ruby / Ruby on Rails web app? Third party controls, books with good chapters, web articles etc would all be welcomed.

Many thanks Mike Thomas
