The Ruby on Rails framework seems to be one of the fastest growing web application frameworks on the Internet today*. It has had a huge effect on the way websites are being programmed both inside and outside the Ruby on Rails community. Is it a replacement for Java? No. Is it a great way to develop a certain class of web applications? Yes.
Learn what sets this framework apart from all the others and what all the hype is about. It might change the way you think about languages, web applications, and programming. It may also make your life a lot easier.
