What is Rails

Ruby's famous framework for building complete web products fast. GitHub and Shopify run on it.

In plain terms

Rails defined how modern web frameworks work, and many web products of the last twenty years started on it. Rails experience is Ruby experience by definition. It concentrates in product-focused startups, and in the large companies that began as startups.

What it tells you about a developer

Rails depth signals end-to-end product shipping: developers who take a feature from the database to the browser alone. It converts well to Django, Laravel, or Node.js backends.
