Thanks for your reply, but what is difference between ruby and ruby on rails ?

Ruby is a language that was developed and released in 1995 by some Japanese Guy (Yukihiro "Matz" Matsumoto) and Rails is the framework developed by David Heinemeier Hansson in 2005 on which Ruby runs on. so it's pretty much like C# or VB being the language and .NET being the framework.

Ruby is the language, Ruby on Rails is a framework. RoR is to Ruby what CakePHP is to PHP.
