What About Ruby On Rails? ... From A PHP Guy
summary
A PHP developer switches to Ruby on Rails and finds faster MVP building and better tooling: uses rails new, Bundler and rvm for versioning, plus ActiveAdmin for the backend and Sidekiq for background jobs that upload 3–4 GB videos to YouTube. Engineers.SG site and a student management system for Mountbatten vocational school go from weekend hack to running on a VPS with Passenger and Nginx. Rails gives easier testing, profiling and gems for common problems but requires an external web server for static content.
