Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails is an open source web application framework that uses the Ruby programming language. Think of it as ready-built code scaffolding that has lots of useful defaults, allowing Rails developers to rapidly build websites.

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack framework: developers can create pages and applications that receive information from a web server, talk to or query a database, and render templates right out of the box. Ruby on Rails is ideal for rapid prototyping, full-scale enterprise applications, and global commercial apps (ever heard of Twitter?) because it is flexible, scalable, and makes it easy for web developers to write and maintain applications.

Ruby Web Development

Ruby on Rails emphasizes the use of well-known software engineering patterns and principles to reduce the amount of work necessary when building web applications. There are usually multiple ways to solve a programming challenge in Ruby, but relying on commonly used patterns makes Rails sites easier to maintain and upgrade. Open source libraries of gems (smaller blocks of code that solve particular problems) are commonly used to reduce development overhead--developers can insert stable, well-tested gems with a few lines of code instead of spending weeks reinventing the proverbial wheel.

Clients benefit both from the reduced time and cost of development, and because these gems often represent the leading edge of technical innovation. Gems are designed to be mix and match. New gems can be easily added to a web application; old gems can be updated or removed when new solutions arise.
