Text

In 2005, Ruby use took off. The reason: Ruby on Rails. This new framework changed the history of rapid web development. Ruby had been used in the past to write CGI scripts, but Ruby on Rails took this a step further. Rails has a Model-View-Controller structure that focuses on “convention over configuration”, which is great for quickly developing web applications.
