What is Ruby on Rails? • New, radical web development framework • Built in Ruby and utilizes MVC architecture • Practices DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) • Utilizes metaprogramming • Is fully database capable • Utilizes convention over configuration • Easy to use, especially when compared to other frameworks
