Subject: Another Ruby language question

Following from yesterday I have a few more Ruby questions.

Can someone please explain what 'self' does in the following:

 module Mod1
   def self.a_method
     puts 'a'
   end

   def b_method
     puts 'b'
   end
 end

If self isn't specificed I'm unable to call the method. ex.
 Mod1::b_method fails.

I've scoured on-line docs about module and come up empty.

Next. What does '/upload' mean in:
   class Upload < R '/upload'
This is from:

Thanks.
