Ruby on Rails Development Atlanta - What is Ruby on Rails and why should you use it?

Ruby on Rails is a development tool used by developers for a framework; it provides structure to the code they write. Rails is really useful because it helps developers build websites and applications efficiently by simplifying common repetitive tasks. It essentially enables the rapid development of dynamic web applications.  One of the key appealing characteristics of Rails is the concept of Convention over Configuration (CoC). This means the developer only needs to write code for areas where their application deviates from the standard.  Another benefit lies in the Rails communities' advocacy of Agile Web Development.

This is a particular method in the development process that ensures effective communication between the developers and client. Pros and Cons of Ruby on Rails Pros:The process of programming is much faster than with other frameworks and languages, because of the Convention over Configuration (CoC), which reduces the amount of code that needs to be written.

CoC also makes it easy for developers to move between different Ruby on Rails development projects, as each project will tend to follow the same structure and coding practices. This means if our clients have another Rails consultant come in for something, he/she will be able to pick up where we left off from with ease.
