Ruby is an object oriented scripting language that has Perl 5 to thank for much of its background - but it removes some of the complexities of Perl and is a much more modern and compact language. Although it has other uses, the vast majority of Ruby is used via "Ruby on Rails" which is a web development framework that pulls together web page design, databases and code into a system in which web applications can be quickly developed by those with the knowledge, and they can then easily maintain them.Converting to Ruby?
