Ruby on Rails : Web Development Updates

Ruby on Rails is a web application framework released in 2004 that aims to increase the speed and ease of web development.

Like many contemporary web frameworks, Rails uses the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture for organizing applications. Ruby on Rails strives for applications with less code, through guiding principles that include "Don't repeat yourself" (code should never be redundant) and "Convention over configuration" (programmers only need to specify when their setup differs from the norm). Rails provides out-of-the-box scaffolding, which can quickly construct most of the logic and views needed for a basic website, the WEBrick web server and other helpful development tools. Rails is also noteworthy for its extensive use of the Javascript libraries Prototype and Script.aculo.us, for Ajax (programming) and visual effects.
