Ruby on Rails

Definitions

1. A full-stack web application framework written in Ruby that follows the Model-View-Controller pattern and emphasizes convention over configuration. Rails popularized RESTful routing, database migrations, and the idea that sensible defaults eliminate boilerplate, enabling rapid prototyping of database-backed web applications.

   In plain English: A popular framework for building websites quickly using the Ruby language, where many decisions are made for you by default so you can focus on your app's unique features.

   Example: "We shipped the MVP in three weeks on Rails — ActiveRecord migrations and scaffold generators handled most of the CRUD."
