Ruby-on-Rails

What Is Ruby on Rails?

Ruby on Rails is my favorite web application framework. If I need to build a web application rapidly and cleanly, this is the framework I prefer to use. For students interested in learning web application development, this is the framework I recommend they use. Want a second opinion?

rbenv

I prefer using rbenv to install and manage Ruby versions. When starting a new Rails project, I usually install the latest stable version of Ruby:

# Update rbenv list
cd ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build && git pull && cd -

# List available versions
$ rbenv install --list

# Install latest version
$ rbenv install 3.0.1

Best Practices

• Testing
• Migrations
