Don't miss the best pdf tutorials about Ruby on Rails in English and completely free, which we bring you in this post.
Ruby on Rails is a framework that unites all the necessary tools for the development of web applications using the Ruby programming language , which by the way we have already left you tutorials in another post.
Like the programming language, Ruby on Rails is free and cross-platform software, which means that you can install and use it on any operating system.
But this is not its only feature, if we detail it a little more we have that Rails is another framework based on the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern, in agile development and RUP (Rational Unified Process).
On the other hand, among the fundamentals of Ruby on Rails we find the well-known DRY ( Don? T Repeat Yourself ) or ? Do not repeat yourself? , basically this allows you to reuse elements that you have created before and that you can incorporate in a new project simply with a line of code. With this, it will not be necessary to write the same code repeatedly, and therefore by writing less code you run the risk of making fewer errors.
Another basic Rails foundation is the so-called Configuration Convention , thanks to it Rails makes some assumptions about what you want to do and how you are going to do it, so that you save yourself from specifying in detail what you intend to do.
Also, with the framework you can easily generate xhtml, xml and javascript code starting from Ruby code. And since ease is one of its strengths, it also integrates unit and functional tests.
If you are wondering what you should do to start using Ruby on Rails, we tell you that you basically need to download and install the language, RubyGems (libraries that add functionalities to the language) and the framework, something that you must do separately, in addition, it will do you a database manager and a web server are missing, for example the famous Apache.
The popularity of Rails has grown in recent years thanks to the fact that it has been used for the development of applications of various categories. By the way, if we go a little further you will be surprised to know that the fame of Ruby (the language) began to grow when Ruby on Rails was released.
Learning to use and take advantage of Ruby on Rails is quite easy, however this does not mean that it is a simple framework, because the more you develop in it, you will realize that it is very complete and powerful.
If you do not know the framework and want to start using it, you cannot miss the Ruby on Rails tutorials that we compile for you and which you will be able to access shortly. What will you find in the tutorials?
In this case, these are the best pdf tutorials for beginners , which will help you take your first steps and create small projects.

We hope you enjoy them and they are useful to you 🙂
