Java? PHP? Rails!
opinions on Rails
"Rails is the most well thought-out web development framework I've ever used."
-James Duncan Davidson, Creator of Tomcat and Ant
Java, PHP and Ruby on Rails in comparison
Java-projects are characterized by a very clean system architecture and therefore they are well maintainable and expandable. A disadvantage of Java is the fact that the development - compared to other languages - lasts quite long and is more complex.
With PHP you will succeed quicker. However it is more difficult to maintain and expand the applications as clean system architecture is very difficult to realise in PHP.
Ruby on Rails represents here the happy medium: these mvc-frameworks enable to build excellent structured web applications in a short period of time.
