1. Ruby on Rails::The New Gem of Web Development

2.

Web application framework

Dynamically typed programming language

Create or manage web applications which

• manipulate relational database from a web-based user interface

Ruby on Rails 3. Ruby ??

Pure object-oriented programming language

Everything is an object

Interpreted scripting language

Ruby successfully combines Smalltalk's conceptual elegance,

Python's ease of use and learning and Perl's pragmatism.

Ruby originated in Japan in 1993 by Yukihiro matz Matsumoto,

and has started to become popular worldwide in the past few

years as more English language books and documentation have

become available.

Ruby is a metaprogramming language.

4. What is Rails? Ruby on Rails or just Rails (RoR)

An open source Ruby framework

Created by David Heinemeier Hansson DHH Partner

The Rails framework was extracted from real-world web applications.

All layers in Rails are built to work together so you Dont Repeat Yourself

Everything in Rails (templates to control flow to business logic) is written

in Ruby Except for configuration files - YAML

5. Rails Strengths Its all about Productivity

Metaprogramming techniques

• Metaprogramming replaces these two primitive techniques and eliminates their disadvantages.

• Ruby is one of the best languages for metaprogramming, and Rails uses this capability well.

Scaffolding

• which can quickly construct most of the logic and views needed to do common operations, such as Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD).

6. Rails Strengths Write Code not Configuration

Convention over configuration

• • Naming your data model class with the same name as the corresponding database table

• • id as the primary key name

Rails introduces the Active Record framework, which saves objects to the database.

• • The Rails version of Active Record discovers the columns in a database schema and automatically attaches them to your domain objects using metaprogramming.

• • This approach to wrapping database tables is simple, elegant, and powerful.

7. Rails Strengths Full-Stack Web Framework

Rails implements the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture.The MVC design pattern separates the component parts of an application

8.

For example

If there is a class Post, the following code:

• • a = Post.new

• • a.subject = "Example message"

• • a.body = "This is an example message."

• • a.Save

INSERT INTO posts (subject, body)VALUES ('Example message', 'This is anexample message.');

9. b = Post.find(:all, :conditions => ['score > 80'])is conceptually equivalent to the following SQL command: SELECT * FROM posts WHERE score > 80; 10. Rails Strengths

Three environments: development, testing, and production

Rails embraces test-driven development.

• Unit testing: testing individual pieces of code

• Functional testing: testing how individual pieces of code interact

• Integration testing: testing the whole system

Database Support: Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite

Rails Application Directory Structure 11. Hello Rails!

def sayGoodmorning(name)

result = "GoodMorning," + name

return result

end

• • • # Time for tea...

puts sayGoodmorning(Think ahead")

puts sayGoodmorning(Think ahead ")

12. Hello Rails!

Out put is:

GoodMorning Think ahead

GoodMorning Think ahead

13.

Rails two guiding principles:

• Less software (Dont Repeat Yourself - DRY)

• Convention over Configuration (Write code notconfiguration files)

High Productivity and Reduced Development Time

Summary 14. Its just like this 15. Thank you
