A year ago I had a similar question... can Rails do this for me??... and the answer is a resounding yes... a year later I still haven't started the actual project... I have learned how to use Joomla (which doesn't really fit my requirements), and i'm getting more comfortable with Rails by the day, and i'm nearly ready to start now (just a few more sample apps should do it)... but it's taken a lot of work and sacrifice... I wouldn't suggest tackling it unless you're comfortable with technical concepts (I have a degree in Electronic Engineering, and had a little experience with object oriented coding - which REALLY helps)...
What made me choose Rails??.. well, ultimately it was the experience it would give me, it was far more of a challenge than PHP would be to learn, but it would make me more employable than learning PHP would, and ultimately would make me a better programmer - which will come in handy if my brilliant idea doesn't make me squillions of dollars ;) Beware, learning it from scratch is not for the faint of heart - but if you have the bottle for it, give it a go, and best of luck to you cheers On Nov 30, 3:35 pm, Matt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ruby on Rails could certainly handle the work you described.
