Programmers.io has experienced ROR developers you can trust.

Ruby is an open-source programming language described as elegant, simple and productive. ROR blends several programming languages, using functional and imperative paradigm. It’s easy to read and powers showy web applications. Its works best for web applications. Created as a blend of programming languages to balance functional and imperative programming paradigms it can be easy to read and produce showy results.

ROR is more like an umbrella for many implementations that have emerged since its release in 1995. Such implementations include: a reference implementation, MRI, Matz’s Ruby Interpreter, JRuby, which runs atop the Java Virtual Machine, MacRuby for the Objective-C Runtime, and, lastly, IronRuby, which is tightly integrated with the .NET Framework, and others.

ROR is so versatile and trusted (it’s ranked 10th among coding languages) that recognized and trusted companies such as AirBnB, Shopify, Github, Hulu, Soundcloud and Groupon power their applications with the framework.

Ruby on Rails (ROR)

Open-sources, completely free, Ruby on Rails is a server-side web framework. ROR has become remarkably stable and supported since its initial release in 2005. The latest version 5.2.3 in March 2019 (Beta 6.0 is being tested now) optimizes programmer coding. The Rails Doctrine emphasizes that ROR should be elegant code to ensure programmers enjoy developing it. It emphasizes convention over configuration.

Like many popular frameworks, RoR is a MVC — Model-View-Controller — framework, which both encourages keeping things DRY — “Don’t repeat yourself!” Code is reusable and object-oriented programing. What distinguishes Ruby language is that apps may be developed and adapted with speed, which has resulted in increased revenue for businesses.

The Stack

With ROR, companies and developers to choose the database, so the database commands can be swapped out if a business changes; however, the Ruby on Rails community uses two main stack choices. The default stack consists of

• ERB templating
• MySQL
• MiniTest
• Fat models, skinny controllers

The alternative includes

• Haml templating
• PostgreSQL
• Rspec/Cucumber
• Skinny models, controllers, service layer

While there are some changing trends in the language, our ROR developers will be able to advise you on which stack and modifications will provide you with the software that meets your business needs. Bring your project specifications and we can help you complete it.

Technology

ROR is a powerful language because it supports multiple-paradigms. It’s procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming concepts, introspection, reflection, and metaprogramming. It features dynamic typing and supports parametric polymorphism. Its almost human-like syntax is similar to Perl and semantics to Smalltalk. In ROR, everything is an object, including classes and instances of types usually designated as primitives in other languages. Variables always hold references to objects, and all functions are methods. Despite such heavy reliance on objects, there is no multiple inheritance support. However, classes can import modules as mixins. Our developers will help you navigate its paradigms to ensure you have high performing software.

Conclusion

Ruby on Rails contends with the best in powering cutting-edge platforms. Because it results in revenue and business growth, ROR should contend for your application. Our Ruby-experts will be happy to clarify ROR code and usage and accept any challenge you put in front of them. Their goal is to make your plans become reality.
