Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails is an open source web application framework that aims to increase the speed and ease with which database-driven web sites can be created and offers skeleton code frameworks (scaffolding) from the outset. Often shortened to Rails, or RoR, Ruby on Rails is an open source project written in the Ruby programming language.

Ruby on Rails was created by David Heinemeier Hansson, a partner at 37signals, then extended and improved by a core team of committers and hundreds of open-source contributors.

Ruby on Rails' reputation has grown in the past two years as it has begun to be used on some of the most popular websites on the internet. Thanks to its agile nature, it has allowed companies to easily add and modify features to their web application at a minimal cost. Ruby on Rails websites also can take advantage of the repository of over 600 plugins that have been developed by Rails developers across the globe, which further speed the development of critical features for your web application.
