After this chapter, we'll be able to write truly interactive programs; in the past we have made programs which different things depending on your keyboard input, but after this chapter they will actually different things, too. But before we can do that, we need to be able to compare the objects in our programs.

Learn Web Development with the Ruby on Rails Tutorial Michael Hartl Contents Foreword My former company (CD Baby) was one of the first to loudly switch to Ruby on Rails, and then even more loudly switch back to PHP (Google me to read about the drama).

Ruby is a dynamic interpreted programming language written for simplicity and power, but it's just a language. It is not a dedicated web development technology, and, as such, you need a little help to make websites in Ruby. This is where Ruby web frameworks come in.
