I've been building web applications for almost 10 years. I can build a Rails app about 5 times faster than a similar PHP app. I know there might be some PHP frameworks out there, but even with those in-mind, I would say Rails is probably 2 times as easy to develop and deploy because of things like Heroku.
I know these are rough numbers from my perspective, but the efficiency and effectiveness of the framework really adds up.
- shykes 15y agoYou can deploy a php app just as easily on dotcloud :) http://dotcloud.com http://dotcloud.com (Disclaimer: I work there)
- ceejayoz 15y agoEven without things like dotcloud, setting up a PHP app takes about 15 minutes on Linode/Slicehost. `apt-get install php5 apache2 mysql-server` and you're about 75% of the way there.
