Ruby on Rails or PHP ... somehow vaguely

Question

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but I want to hear your opinion, because I always get the best answers here. So any progress ... thank you guys.

Now I have to make this decision:

Move prototype webservice to product quality. Choose Ruby or PHP ... (Background: my friend joins the project and prefers rails)

I already played a little with RoR (only basic things), but I'm really disappointed with the Rails and Ruby documentation. For PHP, I only find snippets or hard-to-reach links. In the end, I got a little scared. I do not want to waste time understanding that I am not able to do this with Ruby, that I could do with PHP. Maybe only because I was too stupid and could not find the right explanation; -)

Has anyone experienced this shift and can tell me how easy / difficult it is to switch from PHP to Ruby? EG. Would you recommend it to program in PHP and using MVC as a base template?

Thank you for your opinion!!!

Answer 1

It’s not so difficult, and there is documentation there, it is less centralized than PHP. For a similar style of documentation on Ruby and RoR, try http://apidock.com - it has a documentation interface based on php.net as a community.

Also a great way to get speed with the rails http://railscasts.com . This is a series of screencasts on various topics related to rails.
