Ruby is a programming language.
- It is dynamic - the source code doesn't have to be compiled, it just runs
- It is open source - it's also free and free beer
- Many claim it has an elegant syntax and the code is easy to read
- It is a fully object oriented programming language
Rails, also known as Ruby on Rails or RoR, is a framework written in Ruby language. Rails is to Ruby what Struts is to Java. It's a framework for developing database backed web applications that are based on MVC pattern. Rails doesn't try to do everything in the world. Most of the web applications have a browser interface, business logic and database backend. That's what Rails is for.
