Efficient Features of Ruby on Rails


Open source web development framework, Ruby on Rails, has pragmatically revolutionized the methods of developing web applications and has turned many other technological developers in complete Ruby on Rails developers. Following are some reasons behind the growing enthusiasm towards Ruby on Rails.

Ruby on Rails makes it effortless, efficient and examinable for the Ruby on Rails programmers to develop sophisticated web applications by availing the Ruby on Rails developers with all tools and components required by them to build web based applications in an enhanced way.

Development at Optimal Pace

Developers developing a web based application for a client would prefer only to think and analyze the aspects of requirements from the client which would be the domain problem rather than concentrating more on setting up numerous files for configuration which is not even a part of the project development process but just an initialization of the platform.

When such obstacles keep piling on and on any Ruby on Rails developer or programmer might lose their vision towards which they have to build their project module for the client which would be setting up a website with specifications in sync with the client’s domain.

With conventional web developing techniques this might slow down the Ruby on Rails developer’s project development process to a very large extent.

Convention over Configuration

Ruby on Rails programmers utilize a concept called ‘Convention on Configuration’ which enables them to follow conventional steps while the process of coding is done because of which the Ruby on Rails developers do not have to consider too much about the configuration and settings. For example, if a Ruby on Rails developer created a model class called “Print” the following database will be called “prints” and the class which is the controller will be named “Printscontroller”. Further to this Ruby Rails developers are presented another feature called ‘Scaffolding’. Using this feature Ruby on Rails programmers can create prototypes for client evaluation in a very short span of time.

Database Interchangeability

Many Ruby on Rails developers face this issue of creating a fully functional, sophisticated website using a Database Management System and out of the blue the client decides to change their Database Management System. During such confusions most Ruby on Rails programmers find themselves in an irreparable situation.
With Ruby on Rails this problem can never rise. That is because Ruby on Rails developers develop web based applications without being dependent on a database. If the database has to be shifted by the Ruby on Rails programmer of an application developed to another then it could be easily done by making very simple changes in the configuration settings.

In addition to these features Ruby on Rails programmers can also avail a design pattern ActiveRecord which enables them to achieve Object Relational Mapping (ORM). This means that the classes in the code generated by the Ruby on Rails programmers can directly map to the tables in the database. Using this aspect a Ruby on Rail developer can assign relationships between objects and its classes.

Using these advanced features of Ruby on Rails the developers can develop their web based applications for their clients in an effortless and sophisticated way.
