Learn Ruby on Rails or Python?
by on Jul.13, 2010, under Ruby and Rails
I have some experience with C, and am looking to learn a language that can do some web based stuff. I’ve done a bit of Perl, but don’t really want to learn it. PHP is there also, but again, seems like it may be a bit outdated(?)
I’ve heard a lot about Ruby on Rails, but from the description on their website it seems to mainly be used for database driven sites.
Python is also popular and seems to be learnable (for my level of experience).
My web host supports both, so I’m mostly just looking for a direction on which would be more useful to learn. The projects I would like to use it for would not be strictly database driven things (which as mentioned seem to be Ruby’s specialty), just general web things like um for example a simple calculator or form processor or things like that. Any suggestions, and if so, why? thank you!
