“Culture change—that big elusive goal—often starts with a single, small WOW! project.”
What is Rails?
Rails is a full-stack, open-source web framework in Ruby for writing real-world applications with joy and less code than most frameworks spend doing XML sit-ups.
So What’s a
Rail Frog?
Railroad frogs are the sections of railroad track that guide rail car wheels from one track to the other.
While the Railroad/Rails analogy doesn’t hold up perfectly, the name was short, memorable and unique, the domain name was available... and we like frogs!
