Ruby on Rails is more than a easy to use framework, in fact it is not easy to install nor easy to harness all of its capabilites.
Basically, it uses the Active Record pattern to encapsulate database access and table relations. It then use run time meta-coding to produce the code needed to drive a site. This is my limited understanding on it.
After installing it and playing with it for a couple of months, I recently found Qcodo. It is a PHP implementation of Active Record Patterns and seems to have more promise for our company. Ruby is an ugly language to the eye, but super OO. Even more than Java. PHP5 on the other hand is familiar and much easier to find hosting for.
ok. thats my two cents. just saw unfit's comment and thought it was misleading..it is way way more powerful then some tool to help you do simple things. It is a fundemental shift in the way application programming can be done for websites and online apps.
