Hi, 1)Ruby is simple, clean and elegant, you can learn it while learning rails, it's nearly like speaking english. 2)you can use with Apache (http://www.modrails.com/) 3)i don't know PDO, but there is DB abstraction with Active Record http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html, which makes queries object-oriented, and you can switch from DB1-mysql to DB2- postgre just by changing your config file and that won't affect your app.
I've heard Symfony automagically creates admin spaces on new projects ; in Rails you'll have to make it a bit more by yourself but with scaffolding it's rather easy. There are lots of Gems and Plugins to enrich your app with features you need (authentication, image/file uploading...) Hope you'll enjoy Rails :) On 15 fév, 15:48, Norbert Melzer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi! > > I came to Rails because I helped localizing a project from English to > german.
