Ruby on Rails

Staying on top of new technologies is obviously very important. With new programming languages and ways to interact with surfacing as often as they have been, we have been busy facing the learning curve of acquiring skills in these newfound methods so you don’t have to.

Ruby on Rails is the perfect example of this. Built in the mid ‘90s, Ruby was originally used for making computer programs. In 2004, a company called 37signals developed Rails, a framework allowing Ruby to be used for making intense, content-rich websites, and Ruby on Rails was born.

Ruby on Rails has significant advantages over even the most popular language at this time (PHP). It’s almost-English structure makes it incredibly intuitive and easier to program. But Ruby on Rails doesn’t just stop at the language. It’s “Pragmatic” or “Agile” principles (such as DRY—Don’t Repeat Yourself) that form it’s philosophical foundation make developing what would have been highly-complex websites into manageable, simple methods.

As a company, Design Shak has gained the ability to utilize Ruby on Rails, and “we ain’t no noobs.” We know exactly how to take something from a simple sentence-or-paragraph idea to a full-blown, highly-interactive, super-entertaining, fully-automated, well-oiled machine. But let’s not be modest.

Our clients actually have some really great ideas, and respecting that is our first step. If you have a great idea that you just can’t hold in any longer, and you think it needs to be on the web, then pick up the phone or shoot us an email now and we’ll show you just how fun, exciting, and painless the process can be!
