I've been working on a lot of web design lately. I've been using PHP, which is a pretty great web language if you use it properly, but I'd like to see how Ruby works for the same purpose. And, if you want to be a real interslice hyper-nerd, we can work on getting those nasty tables out of your layout. :) I want to see your code for this thing when I get to Seattle.

I've not used it, and am not advocating it, just wondering why you decided not to use it. I’m curious why you didn’t use “rublog”:http://rubyforge.org/projects/rublog/?

It was my intro to ruby and was a good one. I rolled my own blog software for a couple reasons : 1) I wanted to have tight integration between pictures and wiki and blog 2) Honestly, I wanted to play with ruby on my own project If my only goal had been to have a working blog, I would have probably used rublog or some other oss blog package, but I had other goals. It's been fun. And it really makes me appreciate ruby on rails, writing the same app with and without it. I actually have seen Rublog, I worked on some patches for it a year or two ago.

I've been using PHP, which is a pretty great web language if you use it properly..." That right there tells me that you should stick to web designing. No programmer worth his/her salt is going to talk about a language from the sense of "if you use it right". A language is a language, what makes a project work or not is if the PROGRAMMER KNOWS HOW TO WRITE SOFTWARE. “I’ve been working on a lot of web design lately.

I'm not a PHP developer, nor do I play one on tv, so he may have meant something else entirely - do OO in OO languages, functional programming in functional languages, ... We've all heard the phrase " A good C programmer can write good C in any language". Your man Tom may have been referring to this, and his attempt to not write good C - or whatever - with PHP and to get his head around the intricacies and idiosyncracies of the language. You are multilingual (both in human and computer terms). While you could figure out how to write something in a romantic language you've yet to master, you'll not be writing poetry for the ages at that stage. On the other hand, Tom if you're reading this, then read this: http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?ProgrammerVsCoder. If you don't self-identify as a programmer, than I defer to Stell-J's original comments.
