What to Know

What is the low-down on Ruby and Ruby on Rails?

To explore Ruby and Ruby on Rails (RoR) you need to know that web developers use some key principles that underpin the technologies on a daily basis:

Ruby Features:

Dynamic Typing:
Ruby doesn’t require explicit type declarations, making coding quicker and more flexible.

Blocks and Procs:
Powerful for writing concise, reusable code. Blocks are essentially anonymous functions used with methods like each, map, etc.

Mixins:
Allows for sharing code between classes in a way similar to multiple inheritance but without the complexity.

Symbols:
Internally stored once, symbols are immutable strings used for identifiers, making them faster for hash keys.

Metaprogramming:
Ruby's ability to write code that writes or modifies other code at runtime, enabling dynamic behavior and DSLs.

Garbage Collection:
Automatic memory management, simplifying resource handling.

Duck Typing:
Objects are treated based on their behavior rather than their type, promoting polymorphic code.

Open Classes:
Classes can be reopened and modified, even after they've been defined, allowing for monkey patching.

Yield:
Used to pass control to a block provided by the caller, enhancing callback mechanisms.
Exception Handling:

Ruby's begin..rescue..ensure structure for managing exceptions is intuitive and powerful.

Ruby on Rails Features:

Convention over Configuration (CoC):
Reduces the need for boilerplate code by assuming sensible defaults.

Active Record:
An ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) that simplifies database interactions with features like associations, validations, and migrations.

MVC Architecture:
Rails follows the Model-View-Controller pattern, clearly separating concerns in web applications.

RESTful Routing:
Rails makes it easy to set up RESTful routes, providing clean and standardized URL structures.

Scaffolding:
Quickly generates a basic CRUD interface for a model, speeding up initial development.

Migrations:
A system for managing database schema changes in a version-controlled manner.

Rake Tasks:
Automates common tasks like database management, testing, or deployment.

Asset Pipeline:
Manages and optimizes CSS, JavaScript, and image assets for production.

Action Mailer:
Integrates email sending functionality directly into the application, simplifying email communication.

Testing Framework:
Built-in support for unit, functional, and integration testing with tools like RSpec, making test-driven development (TDD) accessible.

Additional Considerations:

Gems: Rails' ecosystem benefits from thousands of gems (Ruby libraries), allowing developers to extend functionality easily.

Rails Console: An interactive shell for experimenting with Ruby and Rails code in the context of your application.

Generators: Tools in Rails for generating controllers, models, migrations, etc., speeding up development.

Bundler: Manages application dependencies, ensuring consistency across development environments.

Turbolinks: Improves page load times by reusing the current page during navigation, reducing full page reloads.

Security Features: Rails includes built-in protections against common web vulnerabilities like CSRF, SQL injection, and XSS.

These features make Ruby on Rails particularly appealing for web developers looking for productivity, convention-driven development, and a rich ecosystem of tools and libraries. The combination of Ruby's expressive language features with Rails' framework capabilities allows developers to build robust, maintainable web applications efficiently.
