Ruby

Who here use Ruby? And more importantly, Ruby on Rails? Can you do a compare/contrast review with say, ror versus php or asp?

I use Ruby and RoR mostly these days ..

how to compare ?

1st Ruby is a language of it's own, RoR is a framework based on Ruby language , tat u need to diffrentiate

comparing Rails with php/asp ? Can't, why ? coz Rails is a framework php/asp are languages

Ruby at the other hand is an OO scripting language, PHP are not fully OO (although PHP 5 seems to support certain stuff in OO) ...

asp I've no idea, left asp world in 2003 ..

What kind of framework? Singleton? MVC?

Are you familiar with Java, or J2EE? I read that Ruby + Rails = JSP + EJB somewhere. If this is so then which one is better in terms of production speed/scalability/etc.

Thanks Zenslack for your reply

Rails = MVC framework, with ORM support

basically it's easy for db crud (Create Read Update Delete) operations ... and now latest version supports REST (http - get/post/delete/update)

I'm not really familiar with JAVA world but seen the codes btw java & ruby, I prefer ruby (except that ruby is kinda slow )

anyway Python and Django also good combination

Rails is also very AJAX friendly. Even with RJS (Ruby Javascript) u don't need javascript experience to do javascript (dunno if it's overkill or what, don't really use it heheh) ..

another thing great about Rails as it mature is Test friendly framework, it's all bundle with your app to write Unit/Functional/Integration testing, even now I see the trend changing from Test Driven Development to Behavior  Driven Development (BDD) ..

anyway your welcome
