Ruby is a general purpose programming language. It has no specific  
task, but you can handle
almost every task with it. No more, no less.

So essentially, you can use Ruby for everything you could use Java/ 
Python/PHP for. Ruby has
some really nice frameworks for web development, Glen already gave you  
the links.
