Re: What do you think about Ruby on Rails?

I have been using ruby on rails for some testing purposes now. Simply
learning ruby, and the ruby on rails framework.

Ruby is an excellent language, its fully OO, its incredibly intuitive
and I was up and writing some small scripting in next to no time.

Ruby on rails is really an MVC framework for designing websites. For
those with a background in Jakarta should feel right at home here. The
strange thing about ruby on rails is that I am actually enjoying
working with it. I have my complaints about it, but when it says you
can code DB driven sites with less code they really mean it! If you
start off with a tutorial for ruby on rails the amount of functionality
to can have with 2 or 3 lines of code is staggering.

If you are looking for a php alternative try Cake.
