我应该选择使用Ruby on Rails over PHP构建哪些类型的网站?  [关闭]

问题描述:

I have read many advantages of Ruby on Rails over PHP with a platform. However, it seems like Ruby on Rails is limited compared to PHP with a platform. Is there any special types of websites, such as blog, portfolio, ecommerce, job-search, content management website and etc., where I should choose Ruby on Rails over php with a platform?

For example, I've been meaning to build a ecommerce website with multi-vendors. However, many people recommended using PHP. Also, when I looked through the popular website examples using RoR, majority of website seemed like company websites with limited contents, portfolios, or websites with video links.

我已经通过PHP阅读了Ruby on Rails与平台相比的许多优点。 但是,与使用平台的PHP相比,Ruby on Rails似乎有限。 是否有任何特殊类型的网站,如博客,投资组合,电子商务,求职,内容管理网站等,我应该选择带有平台的Ruby on Rails吗? p>

例如,我一直想建立一个包含多个供应商的电子商务网站。 但是,很多人建议使用PHP。 此外,当我浏览使用RoR的热门网站示例时,大多数网站看起来像公司网站,内容有限,投资组合或带有视频链接的网站。 p> div>

Rails is an MVC framework, PHP is a language. You might look into "Cake" for a proper comparison.

Rails will do anything you want it to do*. A lot of this comes from the rubygem ecosystem, most of which are usable without rails.

Out-of-the-box, with no other alterations, Rails provides really convenient places to describe your data (the models), figure out what data should be used to respond to requests (the controllers), and how to show that data as an HTML web page (the views).

*Except be faster than micro frameworks (sinatra, flask, ~ node)

I would not use rails to build something the size of Twitter or Facebook. I would definitely use Rails to build the first versions of Twitter and Facebook that hit the web.

I frequently refer to Rails as "a website in a can". As such, it is excellent for every example on your list, although it'd likely be overkill for a portfolio because you don't need the database.

Finally, if your problem is in any way a common one? If you are seeking to build a "normal" sort of website? If you think other people have solved the same problems you are trying to solve? Rails (plus gems) will do it for you, and keep you happy* while you do it.

I have an interview question: Build me a website with users who have avatar pictures. One guy literally did it one line of bash prompt, via the rails-composer tool.

Remember - There are basically two principles in RoR. One, from Ruby - "Maximize Developer Happiness", and one, from Rails - "Convention over Configuration". AKA, you will enjoy yourself, and frequently have to do nothing.
