There are a lot of different programming languagesout there, some of which have increased and decreased in popularity with the ever-changing world of technology.
Presently, Ruby on Rails, or simply “Rails,” is one of the most cutting-edge and useful website building frameworks that developers use. At Quez Media, we exclusively use Rails in website development, allowing our clients greater flexibility, greater security, and a more stable, responsive foundation. So why is Ruby on Rails so much better than other options?
Speed
Coding with Ruby on Rails can occur up to twice as fast as other builds, for a number of reasons. There are fewer lines of redundant code to wade through, Rails capitalizes on a lean, modular design, and there exists a vast cache of existing plugins for developers to use on the fly. A 20-week project for a conventional build could take only 10 weeks with Rails.
Future Flexibility
Using Ruby makes it easier to add new features in the future, on the fly. This is extremely beneficial for sites that anticipate changes to their structure, new sections of the site, or a complete overhaul to the original framework. Ruby makes it much easier for developers to make long-term or major changes without compromising the structure of the rest of the site.
Cost Efficiency
Ruby on Rails is known as one of the fastest and most available programming languages in the modern era. While not dirt cheap, Ruby is much more cost effective for building most types of websites, and without sacrificing scalability, flexibility, or structural integrity.
E-Commerce
For e-Commerce solutions, Ruby is extremely developer- and user-friendly. With a modular style and high degree of flexibility, Rails can accommodate bulk updates, custom pricing algorithms, and any number of other custom modules.
Custom Solutions
In short, Ruby is King when it comes to cusom apps. Many languages offer one type of benefit, or are advantageous only for one type of site, but Ruby’s amazing flexibility and tremendous quality make it easier and faster to develop a completely custom solution, without compromising its structural integrity.
