Does anyone else out there have the experience to be able to compare these? I'm partly curious because I've found it so difficult to get Rails going on windows, while PHP was comparatively very easy. And Python I've just heard is wonderful - i.e. "Google uses it". My curiousity with Rails is born out of the fact that I've never used a scripting language for web development and so have no clue how much any framework helps in terms of effort/time saved. I appreciate any light anyone can throw on this subject! :-) Regards, Abe ------ extPart_000_009F_01C4D6B5.63C44BD0--
