PHP To Ruby On Rails?

2 points

15 years ago

I know a decent amount of PHP. I am not an expert, but I build sites for people, know how to RTFM and I developed my new Apple Fan site using PHP, JS, AJax techniques, MySQL. I have other skills like C, C++, Java (a long time ago).

A lot of sites I visit are built with RoR.

So how best to transition and re-create my current site in RoR? I assume concepts and programming fundamentals are the same....Mysql querying, laying out data, sessions management, etc.

I do need to rely on some HTML5 specific items though....but I am planning a fallback to Flash if I need to.

In my unreleased version I have specific things like CSS orientation techniques, lots more video elements and video categories.

The site is: http://6colors.net, currently runs CentOS 5.5 and is about 300gb in size.
