Ruby logoRuby on Rails hasn’t been around very long, but its popularity and power are far greater than what most young technologies enjoy. Created by Yukihiro “Matz” Matsumoto around the birth of the World-Wide Web, the Ruby programming language featured two characteristics seldom found together: it was interpreted but also fully object-oriented. In part for these reasons, Ruby found adherents among developers and system administrators looking for tools more expressive and succinct than Perl.

Ruby on Rails logoIn 2003 Danish developer David Heinemeier Hansson used Ruby to create a new Web application framework called Ruby on Rails (also known simply as Rails). The combination of Ruby’s elegant and concise syntax and Rails’ love of convention over configuration arrived just as Web developers were choosing a dominant platform for Web 2.0. Rails quickly swept the open-source development world and everywhere Rails went, Ruby followed. Today, Ruby and Rails is the engine behind thousands of popular, high-traffic websites, and sports a vast ecosystem of open-source libraries and plugins.
