This is both Rails basics and Ruby basics. 'params' is a hash and acts
like a hash. Here is a quick example from the console that I hope
helps but you would actually save time and learn more by reading up on
the subject:

>> params = {}
=> {}
>> params.class
=> Hash
>> params[:x] = 'SW Engineer'
=> "SW Engineer"
>> params.inspect
=> "{:x=>\"SW Engineer\"}"
>> puts params[:x]
SW Engineer

As you can see ':x' is the key to the value 'SW Engineer'. In Rails
that value would be coming from a field in your page called 'x'.
