The topic of this article is supported in its entirety by our customer support department.

Ruby is a programming language that is growing in popularity due to its ease of use which allows for rapid development. Ruby serves as the foundation of Ruby on Rails, a new database-driven web programming framework that makes a complex website as simple as a few lines of code.
