The Era of Ruby on Rails Development

rails_image1With the advent of Ruby on Rails around 2006, it has revolutionized the sphere of web development.

Built on MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, this relatively new technology in the field of web development has appealed to numerous developers.

Programmers, who were accustomed to writing thousands of lines codes in technologies like PHP and JAVA, were spellbound by this framework agility and features to create a full-fledged database-backed application within a few hundred lines of code.

An application which normally would have taken months or even years to complete, can now not only be wrapped up within days and months but also with considerably less number of developers.

Rails is backed up by the powerful object-oriented language Ruby, on which it is based. It also leverages the extensive patronage of Ruby for meta-programming.

It makes optimum use of code generation features, which eases out to complete applications and promote agile programming techniques.

Rails development is also unique in the field of web application because it makes use of two key design features which are DRY or “Don’t Repeat Yourself” and CoC or “Convention over Configuration”.

Agile Development Methodology, combined with DRY and CoC, not only helps ruby on rails engineer’s to develop dynamic web applications economically, in less time & code but also facilitates code reusability in the development process.

Andolasoft Inc offers fast and high-class Ruby on Rails development to startup and established businesses, groups, etc.

Why Choose Ruby on Rails for your Web App

Ruby On Rails

Ruby on Rails, popularly known as RoR, is developed using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern along with the agile development methodology. Ruby on Rails is intended to emphasize Convention over Configuration (CoC), and the rapid development principle of Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY).

Benefits of Ruby on Rails

  • Development Speed

Ruby on Rails allows features to be developed quickly by using existing methods and components with the help of modular design. The factors behind its time-saving results include- modular design, leaner code base, and availability of existing gems/plug-ins. So the development cycles in Rails are shorter as compared to its counterparts.

  • Flexibility

In Rails, there are lots of in-built components of specific functionalities already available. These modules can be reused in development rather than building everything from scratch. Ruby on Rails offers the ability to easily modify a web application in response to customers’ needs.

  • Cost-effectiveness

In addition to the flexibility and development speed, Ruby on Rails is an open-source web application framework that helps in developing cost-effective web applications without sacrificing performance, speed, and quality.

  • High code quality

The Ruby development community is very active and responsive. There are a lot of resources available over the Internet and any problem encountered during ROR development can be easily solved by communicating to the community. Also, security updates and bug fixes are released regularly which helps in maintaining top-notch code quality for application development.

  • Industry support

There are many Ruby on Rails web hosting/consulting companies such as AWS (Amazon EC2), Heroku & EngineYard offering cloud-based services. They offer a scalable hosting environment and provide support for the development and deployment of Ruby on Rails applications.
