Ruby is a language, just like PHP, or ASP. It allows us to define business logic, calculate prices, and interact with a database. Rails is the framework. It tells us where files should go, how HTML views interact with Database Objects, and allows us to plug in modules.

PHP and ASP have these things too. But in the world of programming, Ruby is the 20 something with the sun glasses and the sports car!

Ruby on Rails allows us to do all the things that PHP and ASP can do with 10% of the code-base and 1/3rd the time. Less code means less to build (and less that could break). It’s faster to build, more stable, easier to deploy, and a JOY to program. We can test it programatically. We can automate deployment. We can scale from one server to a hundred, just by changing a variable.

Furthermore, with the standards that are enforced, any Rails Developer can pick up another Rails project and be up and running in a fraction of the time as he could with other languages.

We have never seen another language which provides us as much promise and potential as Ruby on rails. We strongly recommend it to all our clients.
