Web Applications: Ruby Vs Python


Recommended Posts

First of all,

 

Thank you for making such amazing books and articles. I currently own PHP 6 and MySQL 5..., Building a Web Site with Ajax, and Advanced PHP 5. Now, I know this is a bit off topic, but I will soon be picking up either Ruby or Python for web applications. I know you have a book written on Ruby, which might have seemed as if I was about to sing to the choir; though I have read several of your articles and enjoyed your impartial opinions. I am not as interested in which one is best, but what benefits do you see in each language.

 

I am excited for your response,

 

Charles

Thank you very much, Charles, for the nice words and for the interest in my books. It is appreciated. As for your question, and off topic is fine, clearly the best language is...oh, wait.

 

Actually, I don't have any personal experience with Python. I've heard very good things about it, but couldn't speak to it's strengths or weaknesses, let alone compare it to Ruby. Sorry I can't be of more help!
