The first thing to do is write a rough specification for what your
application has to do. Then you can decide on the tools. Ruby is a
programming language, Ruby on Rails is a framework which uses Ruby
(and other tools) to build a web application. If you need a web
application, and particularly if you need a database, then RoR may be
a good option. If it is not a web application then Ruby (without
Rails) may still be an option.
