Thank you. I will definitely check out PhoneGap, but if it's just a cute substitute for learning Java/Objective-C, I figure I might be better served by learning the latter.
What is the practical difference between Rails and node.js? Is one harder or more transferrable than the other? Is one better for certain kinds of web development than the other?
I'm basically interested, I guess, in compiling the greatest base of practical, current knowledge in the next few months. I figure after that I can pick up more obscure knowledge as I go.
- saiko-chriskun 15y agoThe main practical difference would be that the rails ecosystem is just much larger in general (i.e. more community support, ready-made plugins, documentation, what have you.) As for certain types of web development node.js is definitely more suited for apps that do a lot of real-time stuff (like chat.)
