So, I came from PHP, and CodeIgniter (which is nice, but restrictive with no ORM)I spent the last 9 months trying to understand Ruby on Rails, and I love it. The only problems are that it takes so long to learn fully, it costs a lot to host it, and there's a ton of configuration/plugins and everything else.
SO, I've been playing with Web2Py. Picture this: Exactly the same features as Rails... plus: Coding in your browser over the internet ( no FTP-ing files back and forth ) Installing everything on a standard hosting environment Here's the comparison between Web2Py and other frameworks (AMAZING - way less code - no configuration) http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/static/web2py_vs_others.pdf I installed it in like 3 minutes just by double clicking the file (with no shell commands at all), and choosing a password, and created a model using this tool in like 10 minutes: http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/sqldesigner/default/sqldesigner I built a Shopping Cart that accepts credit card information and has a catalog with image uploads and categories in less than 1 full day. Here's the best part: It's twice as fast as Rails at run-time (so way less hosting and happier customers). As far as I can tell it's the best framework on the internet, and from the website, I think one person piloted the whole thing: (kinda like the Ruby language with Matsumoto) I'll give this a college try, cause I don't have time for all the low level programming. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
