As someone who has used both frameworks extensively, I like to add an interesting tidbit:
Considering my Rails work: I visited rubyonrails.org only once, when I first heard about it - it's primary focus isn't as a resource site and I don't know any other Rails developers that use it as one.
Considering my Django work: I had djangoproject.com open practically all the time, every day, since it's a primary destination for everything related to the project.
- mikeryan 17y agoI was going to agree with you, I almost never use the rubyonrails.org main site. But I tried putting api.rubyonrails.org and apparently that also falls under the rubyonrails.org domain which I use quite a bit for rails dev.
- thenduks 17y agoThere is some content there, for sure. I used gotapi instead of api.rubyonrails.org most of the time (they have other stuff there too, of course, which is handy). I have since switched to just looking stuff up in the source because I'm pretty familiar with it.
- ballen 17y agoAgreed, never used the main site. Apidock.com is my main source for Rails info. Also I think some of the Ruby micro-frameworks may be gaining popularity.
- thenduks 17y agoI came across guides.rubyonrails.org just recently. It's actually very useful. If it was around when I was starting out I would have been there a lot. As for the microframeworks, I'm with you. I don't build apps in Rails from day 1 anymore, I generally use Sinatra instead and sometimes (for smaller apps) there ends up being no reason to switch to Rails.
