Ruby on Rails consists of two components. The core component is Ruby which is an object-oriented interpreted scripting language. It was created by Yukihiro Matsumoto and released in 1995. Rails is a web development framework built with the Ruby language. The framework was created by David Heinemeier Hansson, while working for 37signals on their product Basecamp, and released in July 2004.
In order to become a proficient Rails developer, you will need to learn both the Ruby language and the Rails framework, but it is such a well integrated framework that initially, you will be unaware of where one ends and the other begins.
