Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework for building web pages and web-based applications. It is known for its ability to create powerful web applications with much greater ease compared to other programming languages and has therefore emerged as a favorite among many web developers.
In fact, Ruby on Rails powers some of the most powerful websites on the web, including Twitter, Basecamp, GitHub, Shopify, Groupon, and over 200,000 other websites running tens of thousands of applications.
