Ruby on rails intro
Ruby on Rails is a web application framework built on Ruby. It was created by David Hansson in 2004 and follows conventions like MVC architecture and RESTful design. Rails makes it easier for developers to build database-backed web applications by providing default structures for common tasks and promoting practices like DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and agile development. The framework includes everything needed to build a full-stack web app with models, views, controllers, mailers and support for databases through ActiveRecord.

What is Programming?Make the computer work for you in a systematic way based on pre-defined rules The more trivial routines you have, the more powerful the computer can be Depending on the level of abstraction, there are high-level and low-level programming languages No matter what language you use, there are commonly 5 types of statements

Convention Over ConfigurationProject files layout => all your code goes in app/ => configuration files in config/ => database migrations in db/ => other libraries in lib/ => static resource files in public/ => app test files in test/ Naming conventions => table name map to model name => column name map to model attribute name => controller action map to view template
- 15. Don’t Repeat YourselfCode generators => generate project => generate model with db migration => generate controller with views Handy helper methods => JavaScript helpers => Form helpers Sensible core extensions Rake automation tasks Use plug-ins and gems
