What is Ruby on Rails?

Ruby on Rails (RoR) is an open-source web application framework written in Ruby. It emphasizes the use of well-known software engineering patterns and principles, and is known for making web apps with clean, maintainable, and readable code.

With its "convention over configuration" philosophy, Rails reduces the number of decisions developers need to make without losing flexibility. It includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications with a MVC architecture.
