Too bad half of the Rails dev team can’t code, eh?

Must you spam your blog posts here?

If people are interested, they will find it. This is just the wrong place to be posting non-codeigniter related material (bordering on trolling).

We’re glad you like rails. Take it to their community.

You say “we” as if you are speaking for the group here… I, however, don’t share your attitude.

I don’t see what’s wrong with posting links to the articles he’s written in these forums.  They ARE relevant.  There are plenty of tools out there to do a job - CI is not the be all and end all… it’s just a damned good framework.  Others work, too.  It’s all subjective.

I don’t see the relevancy here. Any other forum would call this outright spamming.

A link to his site with a zero-value post.

I never said CI was the end-all-be-all tool. But this isn’t the place to bash PHP and tout Rails - which gets a lot more thumbs up than it deserves.

If he had posted a bit more about the experience (including code, the entire install process (sorry, “gem install rails” isn’t the only step - been there, done that a few dozen times) and WHY it’s actually better.. maybe. Even then, wrong forum. Way wrong forum.

At best, this belongs in the lounge.

You’re probably right about that but I’d leave that up to the moderators.  They’re more than capable of handling the forums.

Well, I chose to post it because I feel like I want to share my views and experiences with the community. And the forum description of Code and Application doesn’t say anything against non CodeIgniter posts.

I also would have written more in the actual topic, but I was tired and needed sleep.

So please, before you start yelling at me for being a spammer and writing zero value posts, try looking at the bigger picture.

Perhaps it would be much better off in the lounge?

However, if a discussion from this post leads to a bit of CI vs Rails banter then it is perfectly fine isn’t it?

$CI = 'CodeIgniter';
$RR = 'Ruby on Rails';

$CI > $RR; // In this case > means 'better than'

Oh yeah…:P

Tell you what, I’ve moved it to the lounge for simplicity.  That said, I’ve enjoyed reading everyone’s experiences (positive and negative) with all frameworks, CI included.

I like Rails. Its great for prototyping.  I still haven’t seen any proof that it can scale properly.

The real big picture is scalability and longevity.

It looks like your site is down BTW.

I agree that RoR seems difficult to setup and stuff, but it’s scalability issues seem to have been knocked down by Twitter?

Or maybe Twitter are the only ones that succeeded in doing it?

Yea but twitter goes down more times than a prostitutes knickers.

lol… what a great thread.

Thanks for sharing about RoR. I picked up a few books on it a little over a year ago and it was greek to me so I sent them back. I have come a long way in my programming education since then. Recently, I have been thinking about trying it out again. I found CodeIgniter and heard thought it would help get me away from procedural programming and expand my OOP and MVC experience. I’m in love with CI now, so it’s hard to say if I will bite the bullet any time soon.

I love Rails - it’s a lot of fun for prototyping or if you have a small project that you really don’t care how it works (as long as it does). Unfortunately, you really start to get pissed at Rails when you need to refactor your code, optimize the site, or do anything a tad bit more difficult than CRUD.

Now… Python… good times, good times.

There are a lot of really good languages designed to use .NET that I think look good as well, Boo and Cobra in particular. I would love to use Cobra for web-dev.
