Ruby on Rails, a web application framework, first rose to prominence for being fun and beginner-friendly, making it a fixture in coding bootcamps for many years. Though nowadays it’s no longer the trendiest choice for developers, the Ruby on Rails community is still active and sizable, as Ruby on Rails remains one of Github’s top programming languages. If you want to brush up on Ruby on Rails, consider one of these Seattle-based training programs and bootcamps.
