Ruby on Rails
If you are a geek like myself, you’ve probably heard of Ruby on Rails. If you haven’t, then you’re probably not a geek. But, consider adding it to your programming repertoire anyways. It’s called Rails for short, a programming framework for developing database-backed web applications.
It uses the Model View Control environment meaning the data model, user interface and control logic of the Rail application are structured independently from each other.
One of the benefits of Rails is rapid development. The Rails website is showing off a presentation where a developer creates a weblog application in 15 minutes using just 58 lines of code. So, what applications are developed in Rails? Basecamp, Backpack, 43 Things, ODEO, Strongspace and Typo.
Rails is database agnostic — meaning it doesn’t care what type of backend database you use with your Rail application. You can choose a flat file, MySQL, Oracle or any other SQL database. Rails has built-in database functions to work with any database of your choice.
I finally had a couple of hours of Rail time. My head is spinning from all this new concepts. It’s going to take some time to grasp the concept of syntax. When is the right time to use plural or singular names? Why do they do this? It’s time for a break. If you want to learn more, view it here.
