Ruby on Rails

rubyonrails.org

Ruby on Rails, often simply called Rails, is a server-side web application framework written in Ruby. It's designed to make programming web applications easier by making assumptions about what every developer needs to get started. Rails follows the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern and emphasizes the use of well-known software engineering patterns and paradigms, including convention over configuration (CoC), don't repeat yourself (DRY), and the active record pattern. Rails is known for its ability to help developers build websites and applications quickly, with clean and pragmatic design.
