I'd say learn Google App Engine's webapp framework.
ROR is very good at consumer facing apps, but there is a bit too much there there to learn quickly, or to use for other purposes (iPhone app backends, etc) for people new to the platform.
Either will serve you well once you master them, and I'd learn both eventually.
- phamilton 16y agoI'd say RoR is amazing quick to learn and use for other purposes. If one has any experience with REST, then most of the backend communication can be built out of scaffolding. Most tutorials and guides for RoR teach REST from page 1, so once you have some familiarity with Rails routing, using it as a backend is simple enough.
