Ruby on Rails is a web framework written over Ruby – a dynamic programming language with an elegant syntax. With Ruby on Rails, you can build a complete web application by combining HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ruby.

Ruby on Rails has a lot of supporters since it makes writing and debugging code faster and easier. The greatest thing is that Ruby developers can reap benefits from open source tools that speed up development.
