Ruby on RailsA truly object oriented language, Ruby is the engine behind the Rails framework. Ruby is the language and the Rails is a collection of short cuts and libraries to make life more fun and efficient as a developer.
Applications that would normally take 2-3 weeks to develop in PHP can be up and running in 2-3 days with Ruby on Rails. Referred to as an opinionated language, sensible defaults are chosen for you so when you're doing a bread and butter bit of functionality you need not verbosely define every last detail.
