In the last four years, we have seen how Ruby on Rails (RoR) built on, and accelerated the wider acceptance of, the object-oriented Ruby language. Consequently, the Ruby/RoR combo has become a workhorse of such independent software providers as Nashua (NH)-based HyTech Professionals (www.hytechpro.com). Though busy as the proverbial bee, the development teams there gave me a peek at apps they use to produce more than a hundred web-facing projects year after year.

As early as 2005, Ruby on Rails validated the language by making available an open-source framework for executing database-driven web applications. Its sparse architecture requirement, very lean code and easy access to support for PHP or Ajax, for example, made prototyping easy and quick.

Since then, the HyTech Professionals developers have nabbed one “killer app” after another to broaden the utility of Ruby on Rails. One of the first was the ActiveState Komodo integrated development environment that, beginning with version 3.5, provided edit, debug and testing support for the elegance of Ruby and Ruby on Rails code.

Another very useful app is “ModelSecurity”, a generator that reminds Ruby on Rails developers to write access control for the data model of a Web site. This makes for security defense in depth since architect developers very often program security only into controllers and views.

Fast-forward to last year and we find that FiveRuns quietly acknowledged the enterprise inroads Ruby on Rails has made by writing monitoring functions for RoR in its enterprise management and monitoring suite. All this means is that developers gain diagnostic visibility into the behavior of production-time versions.

All in all, developers continue to value the fact that Ruby on Rails gets a project up and going fast and has capabilities aplenty for building fairly complex Web sites.

Web 2.0 Development Based On Ruby on Rails (RoR) :

Radix creates web 2.0 applications using the Ruby on Rails (RoR) Framework. We are committed to offer our clients with sustainable solutions, quality service and superior support for latest and well known open source technology RoR. Our expert RoR programmers can develop systems tailored to your every need and using the latest technology.

With a team of expert professionals of Ruby on Rails (RoR) developers, we help you leverage the advantages Ruby on Rail.

What is Ruby on Rails (RoR)?

Ruby on Rails (RoR) is a free open source web development framework based on MVC with Ruby language to rapidly develop data-driven web applications. Ruby is a highly developer friendly, reflective and object oriented language with features inspired from PERL, Python, Small talk, Lisp.

Why Ruby on Rails (RoR)?

Ruby on Rails (RoR) is based on MVC (Model View Controller) architecture that divides entire web application into layers which makes it highly manageable and easy to maintain. RoR includes advanced application development paradigms like DRY (Do not Repeat Yourself) and Convention over configuration.

With Ruby on Rails we simply get work done faster. Before Ruby on Rails, web apps written using languages such as PHP, Java, ASP, which could take ages to complete and in the end you may just have a large stack of unmentionable code. RoR is gaining popularity by the day mainly due to its ability to support rapid application development. Developers around the world are contributing constantly to add value to this magnificent frame work further making it a platform of choice for organizations world wide.

Ruby on Rails (ROR) Database:

Integrated support for most leading database like MS SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL and SQLite enables Ruby on Rails (ROR) developers to implement a system in there favorable database system.

Ruby on Rails (ROR) Ajax:

Ruby on Rails Ajax is one of the fastest growing technologies in the Web, driven by surging demand for the highly-interactive database-backed web applications for which RoR is ideally suited. We can create a rich web applications using RoR and E Commerce websites using Ruby on Rails ROR) web development environment.

Agile Web development with Ruby on Rails (ROR) We can develop sophisticated Ruby on Rails (ROR) web applications quickly and easily. Agile web development with Ruby on Rails (ROR) uses incremental and iterative development to create the web apps that users want.

Questions? Want a RoR based web solution for your requirements? Please visit now our site http://rndinfo.com and talk with our RoR technical experts to get your requirements solution.

Golf Chipping Net

Ruby on Rails is a web application framework released in 2004 that aims to increase the speed and ease of web development. Often shortened to Rails, or RoR, it is an open source project written in the Ruby language.

Philosophy

The fundamental Ruby on Rails principles include Don't repeat yourself (DRY) and Convention over Configuration.

"Don't repeat yourself" means that information is located in a single, unambiguous place. For example, thanks to ActiveRecord, the classes' definitions don't need to specify column names; Ruby can retrieve this information from the database, so defining it in code and in the program will be redundant.

"Convention over Configuration" means the developer just need to define the configuration which isn't conventional. For example, if there's a class History in the model, the corresponding table in the database is histories, but if the table doesn't follow the convention it must be specified manually. So, when you design an application beginning from zero without a preexisting database, the following of the Rails conventions means you use less code (however, the behavior can be configured if the system must be compatible with an inherited previous system).

History

Ruby on Rails was extracted by David Heinemeier Hansson from his work on Basecamp, a project-management tool by the web-design company 37signals. It was first released to the public in July 2004.

Rise in Popularity

Ruby on Rails has experienced a surge in popularity.

Hansson attributes this to the productivity advantages of such "opinionated software." If they code along the Rails conventions — largely derived from Hansson's opinion on how software should work — developers can accomplish their goals with less code. For example, less effort is spent on specifying where data (files, class names, database tables) are located, since Rails knows what to look for.

Technical Overview

Like many contemporary web frameworks, Rails uses the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture for organizing applications.

Ruby on Rails strives for applications with less code, through guiding principles that include "Don't repeat yourself" (code should never be redundant) and "Convention over configuration" (programmers only need to specify when their setup differs from the norm).

Rails provides out-of-the-box scaffolding, which can quickly construct most of the logic and views needed for a basic website, the WEBrick web server and other helpful development tools.

Rails is also noteworthy for its extensive use of the Javascript libraries Prototype and Script.aculo.us, for Ajax and visual effects.

Ruby on Rails Pre-Requisites

Rails works with a wealth of web servers and databases. For web server, we recommend Apache or lighttpd, running either FastCGI or SCGI, or Mongrel. For database, you can use MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, or Firebird. Just about any operating system will do, but we recommend a 'nix-based one for deployment.

If you need hosting, There are a number of them available but we recommends http://www.xaphost.com offering fantastic plans with a knowledgeable staff. Whether you need shared or dedicated hosting, these guys are experts in Ruby on Rails.
