Most people know what a ruby is but not the programming kind, well here’s why. Ruby was developed way back in the early years of 1990’s by a Japanese programmer who wanted a no fuss programming language for use in the now emerging web application development area. It is a pure object-oriented, has simple syntax and to sum up all the advantages it’s darn easy to use. The only problem, it was open-source when a time when the giants ruled the net. Then came Rails, now that’s when things started cookin’, for suddenly there was a ruby framework that worked hastening the development time 10 times making development a breeze. It’s main virtues; less software and convention over configuration allows small programs with a punch that is easy to maintain.
