Agile Development with Ruby on Rails

Rails Interactive develops sites using Ruby on Rails. We do not restrict ourselves to this framework. We have found that using Rails allows for a quicker build time, stable sites, and agile development processes.

Ruby on Rails is an open source web application framework for the Ruby programming language. It is often referred to as "Rails" or "RoR". It is intended to be used with an Agile development methodology, which is often utilized by web developers for its suitability for short, client-driven projects.

What does Agile mean?

In short, this means we utilize a process which allows for easy, quick modifications to the web development cycle. We are able to construct prototype sites for large scale developments in short timeframes and build on those prototypes in order to create the final live site. Other methodologies fall short, in that they depend on creating prototype designs which are ultimately discarded. Agile means quick and nimble.
