This is a little off-topic, but related: I've done hobbyist webdev for a long time, but only HTML/CSS/JS/PHP. I have an idea for a web app I'd like to build--would you folks recommend Rails or Django, and why?
I have very little background with either Ruby or Python, so the language choice itself isn't a deciding factor for me (although I have slightly more interest in Python).
- raunometsa 6y agoYou're been working with PHP, why do you want to switch to Rails or Django?
- justusthane 6y agoBecause it's been a very long since I've even done anything with PHP, and I'd like to play with one of the frameworks. I'm much more interested in learning Python or Ruby than I am in learning PHP.
- raunometsa 6y agoOh, cool – I understand! My first thought was that if you're already familiar with a language like PHP why not use that to build a webapp.
- yellowapple 6y agoBoth are pretty similar to one another, basically filling the same niche, just with different languages. So if you're more interested in Python, then by learning Django you probably won't be missing out on much w/ Rails (and given their similarities, learning one makes it easier to learn the other).
