  Use Ruby. It's way way way easier and just as good (AFAIK better actually)... the Rails framework is pretty interesting too.

  Try it:

  I feel like I have to learn PHP and use MySQL for databases. I guess it works good with Dreamweaver. I thought Ruby was more for Web Apps.

  • you can build web apps with php as well– BattleAxe

  If you're gonna try Ruby on Rails on a MAC I recommend Locomotive..It's a Cocoa GUI that enables you to set up your RoR environment pretty easy.

  Are you developing locally on your mac but hosting on a web host?

  Dev on Mac can be PHP, Ruby ROR, Python/Django, and a host of others... make sure your web host will support whatever you do on your localhost mac, unless you intend on hosting on a mac... also Slicehost and other VPS's give you enough control that you can probably mimic your local environment on a server, but you may have to learn some system admin skills to make it work...

  Only one issue that may bite you is MySQL character sets.. make sure they're same on your mac as on your deployment setup at the web host....
