5 best development tips for Rails developers


Ruby on Rails framework is one of the most preferred web app development platform in the world. It is specifically designed to address the rapid application development requirements of the programmers. It also facilitates the team by assisting in agile development strategies. Like many other web app development frameworks, ‘Ruby on Rails’ or simply called as ‘Rails’ uses the Model View Controller architecture for organizing application folders and files. This particular feature enables the team to work on separate modules at a time and without depending on each other’s work. It provides numerous features and tools to make common development tasks easier, faster and more manageable. By following the right convention, development team will be able to avoid lengthy configuration and focus more on the business logic of the application.
Here I have provided some useful tips which will make your job easier.
1.      Rails framework offers a well defined plug-in structure which facilitates the users to install and use plug-ins effectively during the application development. The founder of Rails framework David Heinemeier Hansson stated that he used 5-6 plug-ins in each Rails application. This feature assists the developers to leave a lot of heavy work on the plug-ins and doesn’t have to waste time in writing long programming codes. A number of plugins are available over the web and all they have to do is pick and implement the right plug-in to get the desired functionality. Developers can easily load or dump data by issuing Rake command.

2.      Rails platform provides one of the most convenient features of “automated testing” that ensures that the app functionalities and features are flawless. It leverages the efficiency and functionality of the app as well as the development team. This testing feature helps in improving the efficiency of the workflow of the development process.

3.      Most development procedures often include the need to create sample data and require moving a lot of data files. In modern application development the programming is more than just the application specific codes. Web services are queried and codes are rewritten. Ruby on Rails on the other hand can save a lot of time solving these common issues.

4.      Rails platform runs on top of a Rack, which makes it possible to switch between Ruby frameworks and servers with ease. This facilitates the developers with a number of server options such as Mongrel, Phusion Passenger and many more.

5.      Console is another useful functionality of Rails framework. In some situations the developers might be willing to see the output of a particular code without running the complete application. With the console feature, programmers are able to access the Rails code in an interactive way. It facilitates them to see the output to which they didn’t know. Programmers can review the data faster without logging in to the database.
Ruby on Rails on the other hand is supported by a large and active community who are constantly contributing to the improvement and development of the framework itself. Rails Developers around the world are assisted by the developer’s community for troubleshooting minor to major issues during the development process.
