    Ruby on Rails vs PHP?

    What are the pros and cons?

    I hear RoR is awesome. However, you have few solid Ruby coders and developers in case you need something down the line.

    Should be comparing Ruby vs PHP, or something like RoR vs. Symphony: Language vs language, or framework vs. framework.
    Your post count means nothing.

      Well, borked had referred this chap to me for some overflow work. However, he prefer to do everything in Ruby.

      I have heard of Ruby, and heard good things about it. However, I have also heard it is hard to find good programmers for long term projects who write good code in Ruby. Where there are more people who know, and write, solid PHP code.

      My main concern is using Ruby on a module based site and running into issues down the line where I can't find a Ruby coder timely, or dependable for changes and additions.

        Ruby offers really no benefits to you, only headaches... there are may be some benefits for the programmer, but that's not really your problem... with Ruby you will probably pay a premium to get stuff developed and you will have to jump through hoops to make it happen...

          php hands down. With so many people developing in php you cant go wrong.

            Thanks. That is a good explanation.

              There was a really good thread on this not too long ago. Sorry I'm not going to find it for you
              History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

                  woj was dead on... the benefits of RoR lay ONLY in the development... Better (read more traditional) OO support and the language construct differs quite a bit and allows for different ways to handle data manipulation. The RoR hype is spawned solely from developers...

                  It's slower to process server side, it's a HUGE pain in the ass to setup... PHP via Fast-cgi using nginx has been proven to be THE fastest setup you can get translating to less server costs on your end. Ruby does now have Passenger (mod_rails) so it's a bit easier to setup on Apache installations but I digress...

                  As woj stated you'll pay a premium for RoR developers because there are so few. This really comes into play if you're trying to get something done, even a simple change, and you can't find ANY...

                  PHP developers are a dime a dozen but good ones are VERY hard to find. However you're guaranteed to find someone to do cheap work to make a simple change so it's a much safer bet

                        I am not worried about 'cheap'. I am worried about being expandable.

                        So a year down the line something needs to be fixed, or a new module added on, I can have it done with ease. Not having to rebuild the entire script and site from scratch.

                                RoR is great if you can support it. PHP installations usually have most of the functions you're going to need already. You'll also get fewer coders who want to assume either - but with PHP you know you're going to get a bunch of shit, 9/10 times.

                                  I know of 4 developers that swear by RoR, 1 of which ripped out all I wrote in PHP in favour of RoR for the main site of a large company. Both scripts were MVC-based, both scripts were 100% modular, he just preferred to do it in RoR, but identical site at the end.

                                  That logic I don't understand - is it to keep him maintaining the code knowing how few RoR developers there are, is it because his PHP knowledge was less than RoR, I don't think so, it's just he preferred RoR.

                                  RoR developers say it takes less time to develop than in PHP, but I disagree. The example above took about half the time to develop in PHP, although I think it's because I knew the db better, not sure.

                                  If you can get this done in PHP, then go for it, but knowing the project, it absolutely *must* be an MVC framework or else it will never work the way you want it to - that I'm sure about

                                    and fwiw, I got very interested in RoR, invested time understanding it and can write a hello world tour with members area, but that is as far as I went - there isn't the interest from clients for RoR than there is PHP, so why waste my time?

                                      I'm working with someone thats developing something in RoR and I have to say, it's coming along pretty fast. I have my concerns, but they are going to stay with the project and this is what they want to use.
                                      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                      think about that

                                          I agree, MVC is the way to go... I should really release my own framework I've developed over the past 10 years to the public, I'm sure the PHP community would love it...

                                          But I'm torn, I'm also a big supporter of private enterprise and my framework has been hard won. It's my bread and butter and I can develop things in a fraction of the time it takes other developers.

                                          Being OO, completely modular, and using true MVC design principals so that I can swap out a data source without ever touching a controller or view... I use DatabaseObjects for example:

                                          Class User extends MySQLObject, it has common methods used across any Parent DB Object Class...

                                          $user = new User($id);
                                          $user->getFormData();
                                          $user->updateDB();

                                          That's all I need to write in order to process form data, populate the new data for a user row and update the database... Everything is handled out of my way, cleaning, escaping, structuring the SQL, etc...

                                          If I want to handle users through LDAP, it's easy

                                          Class User extends LDAPObject

                                          $user = new User($id);
                                          $user->getFormData();
                                          $user->updateDB();

                                          I have prebuilt parent classes for SQL Server, Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, LDAP, and even flat file storage... I can swap from data source to data source with a few characters worth of changes...

                                          Anyway, probably boring 99% of the people in here but that's an insight into the data side of things in my own code :P

                                              So to me, the "ability to set things up faster with RoR" doesn't apply and IMO that is really the only thing it has going for it right now.

                                                            I always recommend to any new clients that are looking to build an application from scratch to go with what is already out there, and improve upon it. In this case I use CakePHP for all new, fresh projects that require the MVC design, rapid application development, and structure that is lacking from a completely new project. Afterall, I get to shape it and make it the way I want, Cake just keeps it clean, organized and functional.

                                                            Plus, RoR happy guys will respect PHP more when they try out Cake, because it's modeled after RoR

In this case I use CakePHP for all new, fresh projects that require the MVC design, rapid application development, and structure that is lacking from a completely new project. Afterall, I get to shape it and make it the way I want, Cake just keeps it clean, organized and functional.

                                                                Plus, RoR happy guys will respect PHP more when they try out Cake, because it's modeled after RoR

The flexibility is awesome, with cache control and all it's my style. I like to control things to the HTTP response header level

It's very easy to make an application without even following the MVC design pattern with CI but CakePHP will make you follow it, or it will be a bitch about how you are setting up and developing your application.

                                                                          In my opinion, Cake has made me a much better web developer because I stick to a set of standards that are very welcome in most development teams and the conventions aren't all that bad, either.

                                                                          I say give em both a try, see which one fits you best.

                                                                                  I love how the fanboys who made the video make it sound like RoR came up with MVC. Smalltalk was doing it before 1980. RoR didn't even exist before 2004. Hell, Ruby itself didn't exist before 1994.

                                                                                  RoR - FRAMEWORK
                                                                                  PHP - Language

                                                                                  If you're familiar with PHP already, use a PHP framework like CakePHP. There's no benefit to using RoR especially if you'd have to learn an entirely new language to use it.

                                                                                    This weekend I played around with PHP, every time I tried to do some thing I found a better way to do it on ASP.NET.

                                                                                    http://shipsoftwareontime.com/2009/0...ment-platform/ is a good read :-)

                                                                                            I agree with you on that. That's what I was referring to as religion. You can't really say one is better than the other without knowing the exact project specs. But some people will always stick to their beliefs no matter what.

                                                                                              borked

                                                                                              I can tell from what the rest of you posted that you don't know jack... and wouldn't hire you to code a hello world app.

                                                                                              barefootsies... don't base your projects on any of those open source frameworks unless you want shitty performance and endless headaches. Seriously... Just because the code looks all fancy and the developers are well versed in the latest Object Oriented Programming buzzwords and methodologies doesn't mean it makes business sense to use it. I watched a development team at a well known adult company waste alot of time fucking around with that shit.... in the end they ended up writing their own framework.

                                                                                              The rest of you need to stop posting and read more...

                                                                                                    This weekend I played around with PHP, every time I tried to do some thing I found a better way to do it on ASP.NET.

                                                                                                    http://shipsoftwareontime.com/2009/0...ment-platform/ is a good read :-)

You end up investing way more money into the infrastructure (WAY) and there isn't a windows server on the planet that can perform as well as a *nix server and that is the plain fact of the matter.
