Ruby on Rails
Last month, we got a look at the Ruby scripting language, as Francis
Hwang began showing us what makes Ruby different from other languages,
and why it is his language of choice. Now that we've got an idea of
what Ruby is, we're going to learn about Ruby on Rails. Why does it
bill itself as Web development that doesn't hurt?
From the RoR site:
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized
for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It lets
you write beautiful code by favoring convention over
configuration.
Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed
web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern.
From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the
controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails
gives you a pure-Ruby development environment. To go live, all
you need to add is a database and a web server.
Those who attended last month's meeting learned a focus of Ruby is on
the developer. It comes as no surprise then that Ruby on Rails is
also focused on the needs of developers.
Our next meeting will be on August 30, 2006 at 6:30pm at IBM.
Topic to be announced.
