Syntax and Basics
Ruby has a simple syntax and is relatively easy to learn. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming. More Info

Best Practices
Following best practices is important when writing Ruby code. This includes using consistent naming conventions, following the principle of least surprise, and writing tests for your code. More Info

Model-View-Controller (MVC) Pattern
The MVC pattern is a fundamental concept in Ruby on Rails, separating an application into three interconnected components: Model, View, and Controller. More Info

Active Record
Active Record is the ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) system in Ruby on Rails, providing an interface between the application's code and the database. More Info

Routing in Rails
Routing in Rails determines how the application responds to different URLs and HTTP methods. It maps URLs to specific actions in the application's controllers. More Info

Ruby on Rails Documentation
The official Ruby on Rails documentation provides extensive guides, tutorials, and API references for building and maintaining web applications. More Info

Mixins
Mixins are a design pattern that allows for the composition of classes from reusable sets of methods. This approach enables developers to create more flexible and modular code, reducing duplication and improving maintainability. More Info

Modular Programming
Modular programming is a software design technique that emphasizes the separation of concerns and the organization of code into independent modules. This approach has been shown to improve code readability, maintainability, and scalability. More Info

Object-Oriented Programming
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that organizes software design around data, or objects, rather than functions and logic. OOP principles, such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, are essential for creating modular and reusable code. More Info

Software Reuse
Software reuse is the practice of using existing software components or modules in new applications, reducing development time and costs. This approach requires careful design and planning to ensure that the reused components are modular, flexible, and maintainable. More Info

Reflection
Reflection is a key concept in metaprogramming, which allows a program to examine and modify its own structure and behavior at runtime. This can be achieved through various techniques such as introspection, type inspection, and dynamic method invocation. More Info

Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is a server-side web application framework written in Ruby. It provides a structure for building web applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. More Info
Code Generation
Code generation is another important aspect of metaprogramming, where a program can generate new code at runtime. This can be useful for tasks such as automatic code completion, code optimization, and domain-specific language implementation. More Info

Domain-Specific Languages
Domain-specific languages (DSLs) are languages tailored to a specific application domain. Metaprogramming can be used to implement DSLs, which can provide a more concise and expressive way of programming for a particular domain. More Info
Introspection
Introspection is the ability of a program to examine its own structure and behavior at runtime. This can be achieved through various techniques such as reflection, type inspection, and debugging. More Info

Route Configuration
The routes.rb file is where you define your application's routes. This page will guide you through the process of configuring routes in Rails, including how to use the resources method and how to define custom routes. More Info
Route Helpers
Rails provides a set of helper methods that make it easier to generate URLs and paths for your routes. This page will introduce you to the different types of route helpers available in Rails, including link_to and url_for. More Info
Nested Resources
Nested resources allow you to define routes that are nested within other resources. This page will show you how to use nested resources to create more complex routing scenarios in your Rails application. More Info
Route Constraints
Route constraints enable you to restrict access to certain routes based on specific conditions. This page will guide you through the process of using route constraints to secure your Rails application. More Info
Getting Started
This guide will walk you through the steps to get started with Ruby on Rails. It covers installation, creating a new application, and setting up the development environment. More Info
Active Record
Active Record is the ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) system in Ruby on Rails. It provides a simple and intuitive way to interact with databases. More Info
Routing
Routing in Ruby on Rails determines how the application responds to different URLs. This guide covers the basics of routing and how to define routes in your application. More Info
Object-Oriented Programming
Ruby is an object-oriented language and supports the basic principles of OOP, including encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. More Info
API Documentation
The Ruby on Rails API documentation provides detailed information on all the classes, modules, and methods available in the framework. More Info
Action Cable
Action Cable is a framework for building real-time features in Ruby on Rails applications. It provides a simple way to handle WebSockets and other real-time communication protocols. More Info
Modular Programming
Modular programming is a software design technique that emphasizes separating a program into small, independent modules that can be easily reused and combined to form larger programs. More Info
Component-Based Software Engineering
Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is a software engineering approach that focuses on building software systems from reusable components. More Info
Object-Oriented Programming
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that supports software reuse by allowing developers to create reusable classes and objects. More Info
Design Patterns
Design patterns are reusable solutions to common software design problems that can be applied to different contexts, promoting software reuse and improving software quality. More Info
Software Product Lines
Software product lines (SPLs) are a set of software products that share a common set of features and can be developed from a shared set of reusable components. More Info
Code Refactoring
Code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing code to make it more maintainable, efficient, and reusable, which can help to improve software reuse. More Info
DJango Routing
Django provides a built-in routing system that allows you to handle routing in a simple and efficient way. More Info
Creational Patterns
Creational patterns deal with object creation mechanisms, trying to create objects in a manner suitable to the situation. Examples include the Singleton pattern and the Factory pattern. More Info
Modules and Mixins
Ruby modules and mixins provide a way to organize and reuse code. They allow you to define a set of methods and constants that can be included in other classes. More Info
Structural Patterns
Structural patterns deal with the composition of objects, trying to create relationships between objects. Examples include the Adapter pattern and the Bridge pattern. More Info
Behavioral Patterns
Behavioral patterns deal with the interactions between objects, trying to define the ways in which objects interact with each other. Examples include the Observer pattern and the Strategy pattern. More Info
Architectural Patterns
Architectural patterns deal with the overall architecture of a software system, trying to provide a high-level structure for the system. Examples include the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern and the Microservices pattern. More Info
Adapter Pattern
The adapter pattern is a structural pattern that allows two incompatible objects to work together by converting the interface of one object into an interface expected by the other object. More Info
Bridge Pattern
The bridge pattern is a structural pattern that separates an object's abstraction from its implementation, allowing them to vary independently. More Info
Composite Pattern
The composite pattern is a structural pattern that allows clients to treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly. More Info
Facade Pattern
The facade pattern is a structural pattern that provides a simplified interface to a complex system of classes and interfaces. More Info, Research Paper
Exception Handling
Ruby provides a built-in exception handling mechanism that allows you to handle errors and exceptions in your code. More Info
File Input/Output
Ruby provides a number of ways to read and write files, including the File class and the IO module. More Info
Regular Expressions
Ruby provides built-in support for regular expressions, which can be used to search and manipulate text. More Info
Metaprogramming
Ruby is known for its metaprogramming capabilities, which allow you to write code that can modify or generate other code at runtime. More Info
Testing and Debugging
Ruby provides a number of tools and libraries for testing and debugging code, including the Test::Unit framework and the Pry debugger. More Info
