My question is what benefits will I get out of rails? My other choice
is PHP, basically I want to know WHY I should choose Ruby on Rails over
PHP. Sorry I do not have time to do the research on my own.
I'm sorry, I hear this all the time from Java programmers. Very
depressing.
Benefits up front...Benefits up front...everyone wants to know
benefits up front...
I just don't see the benefit of your approach
