Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails, often simply called Rails, is a web application framework that helps developers create websites and online services efficiently. Built using the Ruby programming language, it follows a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture, which helps organize code and separate logic from the user interface. Rails emphasizes convention over configuration, meaning it provides sensible defaults to speed up the development process. This makes it easier to build complex applications quickly while maintaining clean, manageable code. It's popular for startups and businesses because it allows for rapid prototyping and the ability to scale as needs grow.
