PHP Or Python Or Ruby

You should try PHP using Laravel Framework ( which is the best available, easy to code ) and maybe if you need some more beckend automation also you can connect everything with Ruby or Node.js

IMHO I would stick with either Ruby or PHP, I've little knowledge of PHP but have been dabbling in Ruby for a few years now and find it fantastic. If you need ANY help with ruby there are a billion guides for it all over the web, it seems to have been the "language of the week" for a while, check out _why's poignant guide for basic ruby (also _why is completely nuts and has a great writing style and his little art work is cute/amazing) and there are TONS of RoR books out there.

I've just begun to figure things out in PHP, but I would say if you already know a far amount of one language stick with it and don't try to switch right away until you know the fundamentals.

Python is just....I've had a fair share of "dealings" with it, and I didn't really like it. It's that old tired excuse about white space but I just can't...get used to it. It looks like a foreign language to me (no offense to anyone)

Thanks for the suggestion
We started coding with Laravel (PHP + Mysql) .
It is easy to find good PHP coders for a avg salary.

The work or the fun?

I will start answering from the middle, just for the kick of it

AWS can handle lots of stuff, but its expensive. If you want something cheaper but hassle free, go WiredTree,
and if you have a knowledge on server managing, just buy a dedicated server.

The platform you choose is mostly irrelevant, since:

a) You can experiment with new stuff on the fly
b) They are more or less the same (in functionality)

Yes, ROR enables you to do some things easier, and coding in PHP can result in
mess, but with good discipline and some coding sense, everything can be done in anything.

To elaborate further and finally answer your question: I see you have little xp in programming such
stuff. Therefore, it is expected that you code in any language will be a bit hectic.
However, since you have xp with php, I would suggest you to go that route. One more positive thing about
php that you will most probably have everything needed for it, installed on your server: not big deal for everyone,
but every bit helps.

Now, regarding performance, you can google articles how twitter reached limits with ROR and switched to Java.
That article shows two things:

a) They were able to handle lots of visitors on ROR.
b) Even with busy site like twitter they had time to switch their platform.

So, my final answer to you is: go with any technology you can muster in short time.
You can always replace it later.

Hi !
I'm trying to develop a web app.
In the site, user can signup and he can access my app. (Just assume, my app is a article spinner).

Assume, site have half million users.
Which platform will be suitable for these kind of website?
Can AWS handle this site ?


I have little experience in php. But i didn't have experience with Python or Ruby.

Help me select a language for this project

• PHP & Symfony
• Python & Django
• ROR
• or any other options ?

Search elance for Ruby, 5399 jobs available. Python, 6757. PHP 70607.

Maybe you want to program for yourself ... if you know for a fact that is all you ever want to do, it doesn't matter what you pick (aside from the fact that PHP is more mainstream and likely to be supported on 100% of any server you decided to host on, unlike the other options).

If you ever think you want to freelance, or ... you know ... get a job, both Ruby + Python combined only equal 17% of all the jobs available with PHP.

Even if you're self employed, if in the future you want to delegate work out, you're far more likely to find a PHP programmer (bigger programmer pool = lesser costs and more reliably finding someone who can help you).

Our prototype is almost ready, We are planned to provide free trial to all users. I have to forward the details of users who didn't purchase the premium plan to sales team. I'm looking for something like a CRM. Any idea to integrate these stuffs with my webapp ?

Hi HarishSEO

If you go for a "pure" CRM, go for the Open Source CRM SugarCRM: The leading Open Source CRM...
- Communication from your App to the CRM: RESTful

You might as well consider to implement a ERP System / Framework wich contains a CRM like:
- OpenERP: Communication from your App to the ERP: XML-RPC
- Tryton: Communication from your App to the ERP: XML-RPC or JSON-RPC
- Apache's Ofbiz: Communication from your App to the ERP: XML-RPC

The benefit of an ERP is that you have lots of additional functionality like: Invoicing, Sales, HR, Projects, (probably less important for you: Production and Stock),...

Cheers

PHP is the best among them ,
easy to understand for the newbie,
I am glad to learn this.

php is easy to learn.

For framework try Yii with ext4yii.

This should help:

PHP is best.I love developing apps in PHP.

Go with php, fuck ruby or any other overloaded slow 'top level' crap, php is simple enought to learn.

If you are not a hardcore programmer yourself, I'd recommend go for PHP, as it's easier (and generally more affordable) to hire offshore PHP programmers.

I don't know how I can explain the feeling after visiting this thread now. Yeah, even though that project didn't generate a single penny, I learned and improved a lot in this time span.

Memories of hungry and desperate days

I know these 3 languages and a lot more. I'm good at coding and make a good living while working with SAAS industry. Definitely worth spending the time.

I am very very glad to hear that. That sounds motivating for me.

I just finished my Lynda PHP essentials basic tutorial. I still feel a bit confused about some techniques. For example I feel like I need to write much more code to achieve the same thing that the instructor achieved in a few lines of code. So thats kinda making me feel bad like I am not good enough. On the other side I feel like I can make anything I want
