I am an extreme beginer to ruby on rails, but not to PHP, Java … etc
and
other OO-like languages. So I have a good understanding of the
principles,
just new to Ruby.
I have two simple questions here:
1.) I get that Ruby is the language but what is the “Rails” part about?
2.) I get the Ruby Gems is the package manager but package manager for
what?
Language Extensions?
-Thanks

A rails application is going to be a mix of ruby code to program what
is going on on the server
side and and rails framework set up

Just to quibble over framework vs. library. In general you call out
to library code, whereas a framework tends to call your code.
