Why Ruby?
Ruby is an object oriented programming language that is designed to make development as quick and painless as posssible. Taking the best practices from a number of other languages, Ruby
- is easy to write, read and maintain
- has a well thought out and extensive standard API
- has a thriving developer community
- is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide
Ruby is on the cutting edge of web development technology, not only through the Ruby on Rails framework, but also through new and exciting frameworks such as Merb and Sequel.
Ruby is also ideal for traditional application development and available APIs allow Ruby to create cross platform GUI applications for Linux, Apple OS X, Microsoft Windows and Sun Solaris.
