Why Ruby on Rails?

Ruby on Rails is a web application framework that includes everything needed to create a database-backed web application according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. Ruby on Rails makes it much easier and more fun to build modern web applications and you can learn it with the support of a large, friendly community.

Ruby on Rails’ core belief is to optimize the programmer’s happiness. Combined with the simplicity of DigitalOcean, Rail’s web application framework helps developers deploy applications as quickly as possible.
