Overview

Ruby on Rails, often simply Rails, is a web application development framework written in the Ruby programming language. It is designed to make programming web applications easier by making assumptions about what every developer needs to get started. It allows developers to write less code while accomplishing more than many other languages and frameworks. Rails is opinionated software, which means that it assumes that the best way to do things is the way it suggests.
