RoR offers numerous features that make the framework one of the most opted Ruby application development frameworks in the world. One of the most attractive features of RoR is that it simplifies coding thus allowing web developers to build apps easier and faster. These features are available because Rails emphasizes convention over configuration (CoC) philosophy that enables to avoid conventions where it can be and requires only a fraction of the configuration code, thereby saving time and increasing productivity. While specifying the configuration, developers can depend on Ruby to provide the configuration. This way, Ruby on Rails allows programmer with more time to modify application and programs to customer specific needs.
RoR employs Model View Controller (MCV) architecture, which facilitates the development team to work on separate modules at a time without depending on each others’ work. It greatly reduces the complexity of the code and separates the presentation layer from business logic. In this architecture, Model deals with the database interactions, the controller deals with all the web server interactions while the view handles the presentation and User interfaces of the applications. There is no room for duplication of code and facilitates in making complex web applications easier to implement.
Ruby on Rails has gained massive popularity over the last few years because web application could now be built much easily and without a shorter time. RoR also facilitates simple syntax, enabling newbie to quickly pick up all the development aspects of RoR development.
Proficient Ruby on rails engineer can easily cater to the specific business requirements of the businesses. They are well versed with all the development aspects of Ruby on Rails and can develop apps meeting the expectations of customers as well as end users.
