Adding additional fields (with validation) to Devise view/model in Rails app

Question

It seems there's not a whole lot of documentation out there covering how to add custom fields to a Devise authentication solution in a Rails 3 app.

Along with the required e-mail and password for users to sign up, I'd like a few other custom fields put in and validated and since there are no controllers generated with Devise, how does one do this?

I needed this same thing. There is a great article I found to help me:
