Ruby On Rails

 Ruby on Rails, often simply called Rails, is a server-side web application framework written in Ruby. It is designed to make programming web applications easier by making assumptions about what every developer needs to get started. Here are some key points about Ruby on Rails:

Key Features

MVC Architecture:

Rails is based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, which separates the application into three interconnected components:

Model: Manages the data and business logic.

View: Handles the presentation layer (UI).

Controller: Manages the input from the user, interacts with the model, and renders the appropriate view.

Convention over Configuration:


Rails emphasizes "Convention over Configuration," meaning it has sensible defaults that developers can follow, reducing the number of decisions they need to make.

DRY Principle:

"Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) is a principle that Rails follows to reduce redundancy by encouraging reusable code and reducing duplication.

Gems and Plugins:

Rails has a rich ecosystem of libraries called gems, which extend its functionality. These can be easily integrated into a Rails application to add features such as authentication, authorization, payment processing, etc.

Active Record:

The Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) layer in Rails is called Active Record, which simplifies data handling and database interactions by representing tables as classes and rows as objects.

RESTful Design:

Rails encourages the use of RESTful routes and actions, promoting a standardized way of building web applications that interact with resources.

Scaffolding:

Rails can automatically generate some of the boilerplate code needed for a new project, including models, views, and controllers, allowing developers to quickly get started.

Getting Started

To get started with Rails, you'll need to have Ruby installed on your system. Here are the steps to set up a new Rails project:







Install Ruby:


You can install Ruby using a version manager like rbenv or rvm.

Install Rails:

Once Ruby is installed, you can install Rails by running

Access the Application:

Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/posts to see the posts index page.

Ruby on Rails is a powerful and flexible framework that can help you build web applications quickly and efficiently by leveraging its conventions and extensive ecosystem.

Database management syste

What is a database management system? Database management systems on z/OS A database management system (or DBMS) is essentially nothing more than a computerized data-keeping system. Users of the system are given facilities to perform several kinds of operations on such a system for either manipulation of the data in the database or the management of the database structure itself. Database Management Systems (DBMSs) are categorized according to their data structures or types. There are several types of databases that can be used on a mainframe to exploit z/OS®: inverted list, hierarchic, network, or relational. Mainframe sites tend to use a hierarchical model when the data structure (not data values) of the data needed for an application is relatively static. For example, a Bill of Material (BOM) database structure always has a high level assembly part number, and several levels of components with subcomponents. The structure usually has a component forecast, cost, and pricing data, and...

Here are some interesting facts about artificial intelligence (AI): Origins and Development: The term "artificial intelligence" was coined by John McCarthy in 1956 during the Dartmouth Conference, which is considered the birthplace of AI as a field. AI research has gone through several periods of optimism followed by "AI winters," where progress slowed and interest waned due to unmet expectations. Types of AI : Narrow AI : Designed to perform a narrow task (e.g., facial recognition, internet searches). Most of the AI systems we interact with today are narrow AI. General AI : Hypothetical AI that has the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at a human level. Superintelligent AI : An AI that surpasses human intelligence and capability. This is a theoretical concept and has not yet been achieved. Applications: AI is used in various fields, including healthcare (for diagnostics and treatment recommendations), finance (for fraud ...

Frontend Javascript Libraries for Web development

React.js   React.js (or simply React) is a popular open-source JavaScript library for building user interfaces, particularly for single-page applications where data changes dynamically over time. React was developed by Facebook and is maintained by Facebook and a community of individual developers and companies. Key Features of React Component-Based Architecture: Components : React applications are built using components, which are independent and reusable bits of code that describe a part of the user interface. Components can be class-based or function-based. Props : Short for properties, props are read-only attributes that are passed from parent to child components. State : State is a special object that holds data that may change over the lifecycle of the component. Components can update their own state and re-render when the state changes. JSX (JavaScript XML) : JSX is a syntax extension for JavaScript that looks similar to XML or HTML. It allows developers to write HTML-like c...
