Ruby on rails
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework. Ruby is a language, Rails is a framework. Rails is fast becoming a preferred development framework eating into PHP share
Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. Rails works with a wealth of web servers and databases. For web server, we recommend Apache or lighttpd, running either FastCGI or SCGI, or Mongrel. For database, you can use MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, or Firebird. Just about any operating system will do, but a ‘nix-based one for deployment is recommend.
