Ruby on Rails, often referred to as Rails, is a powerful open-source web application framework written in the Ruby programming language. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern and emphasizes convention over configuration, enabling developers to build web applications quickly and efficiently with clean, maintainable code. Rails offers a wide range of built-in tools and libraries, including features for database management, routing, and templating, streamlining the development process. Its active and passionate community, coupled with a wealth of third-party gems (plugins), makes Ruby on Rails a popular choice for building scalable and feature-rich web applications, from startups to large enterprises.
