Ruby is a programmers' best friend. Ruby is an interpreted scripting language used for quick and easy object-oriented programming. Ruby has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (much like Perl). Ruby is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and portable. Ruby is free, which means not only free of charge, but also freedom to use, copy, modify, and distribute it.

Rails is a full-stack, open-source web framework written in Ruby used for writing real-world applications with much joy and less code than most frameworks spend doing XML sit-ups. Being a full-stack framework means that all layers are built to work seamlessly together. That way you Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) and you can use a single language from top to bottom. Everything from templates to control flow to business logic is written in Ruby - the language of love for industry heavy-weights.
