The foundation of a great web application is proper relationships. The Rails framework takes most of the headache away from developing these relationships and almost entirely eliminates the need to write low-level queries to your database. If you've spent time writing those queries, Rails' ActiveRecord will make sense, but for those of you who are just getting started this can be confusing.

Ruby on Rails is a recent entry into the world of Web application development that is rapidly gaining mindshare, even while still in beta versions. Rails succeeds by automating the creation of the most common types of Web applications while not straightjacketing you if you want to add custom or atypical requirements. Moreover, compared to many Free Software libraries that perform individual aspects of a Web application, Rails contains a nicely integrated set of tools for all aspects.

Test-driven development is A Good Thing. There are many sites out there that will give you abstract discussions on why you should be doing it, so this page won?t dwell too much on that. This is intended to give a basic ?recipe? to follow, mostly for those new to the subject. You should read HowtoFunctionalTest and HowtoUnitTest , if you haven?t already.

I get a lot of emails about packing and distributing Rails applications with Tar2RubyScript and RubyScript2Exe. It obviously wasn't easy to come up with the steps that have to be taken to transform a Rails application into a standalone application. Since I never built a Rails application myself, I wasn't even sure if it was possible at all. That's why I decided to write this tutorial.

Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto was looking for an object oriented scripting language. Python wasn't OO enough. Perl's "Swiss Army Chainsaw" approach was too messy. When he didn't find what he was looking for, Matz decided to write his own language. His goal was to create one good enough to replace Perl. Ruby was born in February of 1993 and first released to the public in 1995. Today, Ruby is more popular than Python in Japan. Ruby started hitting the shores of the United States around 2000.

Ruby? Rails? Ajax? Is this cluster of confusing buzzwords swarming around your head like a mob of angry bees? Then fear not, gentle padawan -- Jedi help is at hand! For I, too, was just like you once: confused, jumping at shadows, sinking into the depths of yet another custom Python web framework while softly weeping behind a stack of dog-eared PHP books. But not anymore. Today I build my applications in Ruby on Rails.
