Learning Ruby

I was browsing around on the web and ran into something called Ruby on Rails. I have no idea what it is.. but I remember seeing it somewhere else before. So me being my usual curious self, I googled it, and found this nice tutorial called try Ruby!.

Ruby is… a dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write.

I find it to be a very cute little language. The syntax is just great. I love all of the shorthand.

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment. To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server.

Interesting stuff. I think I’ll dive into it a little more later on. :D
