Ruby on rails is a complete cross-platform application for web development. It is a very contemporary web framework and like other platforms it uses a “Model Views Controller”. Nowadays it is the best architecture for developing application programming. Ruby on Rails has several advantages over other frameworks. They are what makes Ruby development tasks fast and easy, like “out of the box” creation. It provides a meta programming method for creating of database based web applications, it is also known as “Scaffold”. Using this technique you can easily construct some of the templates, models and views needed for the majority of the basic websites, homepages and even web portals. “WEBrick” is a new technology which Ruby development uses too. The sense of it is that library, which is included in Ruby distribution, provides basic HTTP web server services and tools. “Rake” is also included too, the sense of this anonymous function block is: to define various tasks which allows one to use Ruby syntax.
