I've read a ton of comparisons that compare one framework to another, and one language to another. There's so much conflicting advice out there that it's hard to know what is best. Did I make the right choice choosing Rails for my first web project? I guess we'll see.
The only reason why I'm hesitant is that a lot of the big name sites use php (facebook, wordpress, joomla, etc). At some point I'd like to write plugins and extensions for them and integrate with their API's with my site, will Rails will do the trick? Also, I looked into django, the framework for python. I was sorta intrigued by python because that's what google uses and I believe yahoo as well. However, there is 0.00% chance of my little ol' web app ever reaching their seismic proportions, but from what I've read django is quite comparable to ruby and quite a bit faster. I guess that's the only reason why I'm still hesitant about choosing Rails. >From what I've gathered is that Rails lags in speed and performance. So, why did I choose rails? It seems to be the easiest to code it in and it's very well documented. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me 'cause I'd rather put in extra work upfront to ensure the longevity of my site and the least amount of headaches in the future. So the next few months all I'll be doing is eating, drinking, breathing Rails, and I just wanted to say hi and sorta introduce myself to the community. Thanks guys for all the documentation already out there and all the support you guys provide. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
