Ruby on Rails is composed of set of tools to build dynamic websites and applications with Ruby as the programming language. David Heinemeier Hansson developed Ruby on Rails while working on a project management tool named Basecamp for a web application development company 37 Signals. David surfaced ruby on rails in 2004 with the version 1.0 release in December 13, 2005. From its launch to till now rails development has been open source with many features added into the newer updates. After 15 months of its first public release the version 1.0 of Rails is launched with easy database access, database report generation and database record handling on an administrative interface. Small tweaks can be done then through rails to get the functionality you want. Rails achieved it first milestone when Apple in 2007 announced to ship Ruby on Rails with the version 10 of Mac OS X. After two years version 2.3 of Rails was launched with some new features like engines, templates, Rack, metal and nested model forms. Until then, popular micro blogging network Twitter was using Ruby on Rails development to develop its website. 37Signals project management tool website Basecamp is also build with Ruby on Rails. Some of the other major websites built with Rails are: Scribd Hulu Crunchbase Slideshare Github Zendesk Until 2008 Ruby on Rails was acquiring Merb, another web application framework with much similar features to RoR. Amuch stable version of Rails, Rails 3.0 was released after this big acquisition. This new version included use of improved Javascripton web pages, easy email notifications, more security and code flexibility with new query engine. Rails 3.0 reduced the overhead related to partials, templates and responses by 30-40% as compared to previous versions. RESTfulconcept is also included into rails development in this new rails version which improves the scalability of your designs and deployment of web components. The latest version of Rails is Rails 3.2 which was released earlier this year on January 20, 2012. It promises faster development and included a new routing engine with enabled auto query explaining.
