What Ruby on Rails Is and How It Works
Codecademy Blog
EDITOR BRIEF
Ruby on Rails, or Rails, is an open-source web framework built with Ruby that helps developers create websites and apps faster by handling repetitive work. It gives projects a default structure for code, databases, and pages, and it can help with tasks like database connections, user login, and organizing files. It is mainly a back-end framework, so it manages work behind the scenes.
INSIGHTS
For beginners, Rails is useful because it shows how a framework can speed up web development by reducing setup work. A good next step is to learn basic Ruby, then try a small Rails app to see how back-end pieces fit together.
