I dont get it, can u write websites with ruby or not.

Everywhere in manuals I see usual programming, no web programming 🙁

It is a scripting language just like perl, but with mod_ruby and eruby you are able to use it to make websites just like php. eruby does the translating of eruby <% code %> code blocks to regular ruby code and then integrates the html into print statements. then the mod_ruby apache module provides ruby to the apache api so requests can be passed to the eruby interpreter and then sent back to apache for sending the response to the client.

    Because that's RoR's most popular project... and they're using PHP for the site... yet the title of this post is "The end of PHP?"...

    how is it not ironic?

        Piersk, my stupid messages to you have been about people/groups just like this...massive influence and folks are paying attention...

        Well, some people are paying attention...

          There was a pow-wow recently of Ajax'ers talking about stuff. This is a big run down on what people had to say (a few interesting things in here):

          PHPArch has a webcast that sounds interesting as well... I've signed up... it's free 🙂

            Statement / Question, Ruby is free but it's not open source, is it?

            Comment, Ruby has the worst syntax I have ever seen :bemused:

              its open source
              [url]ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.3.tar.gz[/url] latest version

                Cheers for the info but I don't need a link I have this www.php.net 😃

                Might look into it once I complete my PHP OOP lessons. I like teaching myself, least that way I get to use my favourite paddle to punish my self... or should I say reward?
