Page 1 of 3 Ruby on Rails
 Ruby on Rails is a free web application framework. It aims to increase the speed and ease with which database-driven web sites can be created, and offers skeleton code frameworks. Often shortened to Rails, or RoR, Ruby on Rails is an open source project written in the Ruby programming language, and applications using the Rails framework are developed using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm.
The MVC paradigm has become increasingly popular within the last few years. Our own website is based on the MVC paradigm, although it was created using Joomla, a php application.
