S<\/span>tudents<\/span> learn<\/span>ed the basics of the increasingly<\/span> popular<\/span> framework for<\/span> web solutions<\/span> Ruby on Rails<\/span>. A<\/span>mong other web sites<\/span> Twitter is build on this framework.\u00a0<\/span>Students learned how to<\/span> use<\/span> built-in tools<\/span>,<\/span> which greatly<\/span> facilitate<\/span> and<\/span> shorten the<\/span> time needed to build<\/span> web applications<\/span>. They also looked at how <\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>easily<\/span> integrate<\/span> external<\/span> libraries into their<\/span><\/span> the<\/span> application<\/span>.<\/span> The development<\/span> in<\/span> Ruby on Rails<\/span> is based on three<\/span> principles:<\/span><\/p>\n

CoC<\/span> (<\/span>Convention<\/span> over<\/span> Configuration<\/span>)<\/span>
\nMVC<\/span> (<\/span>Model<\/span>–<\/span>View-Controller<\/span>), and<\/span>
\nDRY<\/span> (<\/span>Do not<\/span> Repeat<\/span> Yourself<\/span>)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students realised each of<\/span> these principles <\/span>in practice<\/span> by <\/span>building<\/span> a simple web<\/span> application.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
