Ruby language is often used in conjunction with the Rails framework, created by David Heinemeier Hansson in 1994. It is a framework consisting of a variety of programs to help you develop web application easily and quickly. Thus, Ruby on Rails is the most popular and profitable web development tool which makes the work of Ruby programmers simpler as it cuts down on the amount of code writing.
In spite of having their own identities, Ruby language and Rails framework perfectly compliment each other and are often thought of as an inseparable unity. Actually, Ruby is the base foundation for Rails; it was built on the ground of Ruby language.
So, if you have a perfect knowledge of Ruby, you will definitely not face any problems working with Rails. However, it doesn’t purport the idea that without mastering Ruby you won’t be able to work on Rails. But it will greatly facilitate your understanding of the Rails code and significantly decrease the time taken to make your application go up. Thus, they both go hand in hand.
In comparison with the other programming languages and development frameworks, Ruby on Rails is a very efficient and highly beneficial way of developing successful web applications in a shorter time.
It is no wonder that Ruby has received world wide recognition and has successfully been used by programmers as an efficient development tool.
