ABSTRACT: Ruby on Rails is a powerful Web application development  
framework  
based on the dynamic object-oriented programming language Ruby. With  
several  
popular Web sites based on it, its prominence is rapidly rising. Ruby on  
Rails fully supports Web 2.0 and Web services and enables extremely  
rapid  
development. It incorporates several important features of “programming  
in  
the large” and is well suited for quickly developing even large, complex  
applications. A small Web application that also uses Ajax and Web  
services  
provides an introduction to Ruby on Rails.
