AN INTRODUCTION…
Some general things:
o Ruby is the programming language.
o Rails is a Web Development Framework on top of Ruby.
![Page 3: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
ABOUT RUBYRuby is:
o Dynamic – executes on runtime.
o Reflective – modifies itself on runtime.
o General purpose – can be used for any programming purpose.
oOpen Source…
o Object oriented…
o High-Level…

THE RUBY STORYDeveloped in the early-1990s.
Created by Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto.
Originates from Japan.
First released on February 1995.
Next major release, Ruby 2.0 expected on 2013.
![Page 5: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
TECHNICAL INFOInterprets to C.
Uses the best practices from Perl, Smalltalk, Eiffel, and Lisp.
Ruby follows the principle of least astonishment (POLA). Works as expected.
Alternative implementations of Ruby, including YARV, JRuby, Rubinius, IronRuby,MacRuby, and HotRuby.
![Page 6: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
INSTALLING RUBYDepending on tour system there are many different installation ways.
The 3 basic Ways are:1. You can compile it from source.2. You can install it through 3rd party
tools, RVM – Linux/MacOS, Ruby Installer – Windows.
3. Via package managers:Apt-get install, yum install,brew install, pacman –S etc.

FILE EXTENSIONSThe most popular file extensions of Ruby (and also Rails) files are:
o .rb the Ruby class files.
o .gem Ruby package files that may containRuby programs and libraries.
o .yml data mapping files.
o .html.erb Ruby html files.
![Page 8: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DO YOU SPEAK RUBY?Ruby is a scripting language, which has one goal:
To be programmer friendly.
So it's expressive, and closer to physical language.
![Page 9: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SOME RUBY TALKSomething no one ever seen before…Let’s do an innovative Hello World example:
puts "Hello World!"
![Page 10: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
RUBY LOGICIn Ruby Everything is an object. There are no primitive types. Lines and | are code seperators.
No need to declare variable types. For exampe:
@name #a variable@name = 2 #a number@name = “Kaiser Chiefs” #a String@name = 1..52 #a range@name = [“Rails”,12,[6,7,9],3..53]
#a collection
![Page 11: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
RUBY LOGIC AGAINA class exampleclass Person
attr_accessor :nameend
Class instance Examplebob = Person.newbob.name = “Bob the Builder” Blocks example – blocks are anonymous functions workers = [Bob, Maria, George, Sylvia]for person in workers do
puts person.nameendworkers.each do |person|
puts person.nameend
![Page 12: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
RUBY LOGIC AGAIN AND AGAINIterrators examplebest_workers = workers.select{|person| person.name.include? ”a”} Hashes are a great way to store things:
Hash examplefav_djs = {“tiesto” => 8, “deadmau5” => 6, “kaskade” => 3, “benassi” => 7}fav_djs[“deadmau5”] >> 6fav_djs[“benassi”]+=2 >> 9fav_djs[“afrojack”] = 5

HOW TO HACK SOMETHING USING RUBY…
Now we know enough to…
Just Kiddin, let’s dive into Rails
![Page 14: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rails
![Page 15: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SO? WHAT’S RAILS?•Open source
• MVC Web Framework
•Optimized for programmer happiness.
•Developed for database backed web applications,.
•Very AGILE
![Page 16: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FOR STARTERSRails is a ruby web framework.
It was designed by David Heinemeier Hansson.
Was released as an open source project on 2004.
And joined Mac on 2007.

MVC ON RAILS
![Page 18: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SOMETIMES PICTURES AREN’T ENOUGH• This pattern splits the view (also called the presentation) into "dumb" templates that are primarily responsible for inserting pre-built data in between HTML tags. • The model contains the "smart" domain objects (such as Account, Product, Person, Post) that holds all the business logic and knows how to persist themselves to a database.
• The controller handles the incoming requests (such as Save New Account, Update Product, Show Post) by manipulating the model and directing data to the view.

RAILS FIGHTS FORWrite Less Do More.
DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself.
COC – Convention over Configuration.
REST- Representational State Transfer.
![Page 20: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
HOW EASY IS TO LEARN RAILS?
![Page 21: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
RAILS CAPABILITIES•ORM : Object Relational Mapping.
•CRUD: Create Read Update Deletea Database.
•Both BDD and TDD: Behavior and Test Driven Development.
•Ajax and Web Services.
•Meta Programming.
![Page 22: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WHAT IS ORM?Active Record (ORM)An ORM layer built-in maps classes to tables so :
•Every row is an object.•Every column is an object attribute.
Also it uses conventions to minimize configuration.
![Page 23: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
COMPATIBILITYMost Platforms :Linux, Windows, MacOs etc.
Most Databases : MySQL, Sqlite, NoSQL etc.
A lot of Web Servers :Nginx, Apache, Passenger etc.

RAILS VS JAVA AND PHP
![Page 25: Ruby on Rails - An overview](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061106/540448e88d7f729b768b4680/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
GETTING STARTED
All Rails Apps use the same structure.
No matter the editor or IDE you are using, the projects have the same build.
The newer versions always support the older.
