Would you then recommend RoR over PHP?
- techiferous 16y agoI wouldn't recommend Rails as a starting point. The ecosystem has become quite large and there is a lot to learn. Plus, it's in transition from Rails 2 to Rails 3, so you'll be learning a moving target and the ecosystem is a bit unstable as a result. If you'd like a Ruby framework to start with, I'd recommend Sinatra. It has less moving parts but is still plenty powerful. http://www.sinatrarb.com/ http://www.sinatrarb.com/ If your web application is mostly a web site with some dynamic features sprinkled in, then PHP would be a good choice because it's easy to embed straight within the HTML. If you're building a full-fledged web app (lots of dynamic content, database-backed, user accounts, etc.) then I would choose a web framework. I don't know how PHP web frameworks compare with Ruby web frameworks since I haven't used a PHP web framework myself.
