[General] Ruby vs. PHP

[Ahmad Al-Ibrahim]

Majed, According to framework performance test on 
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Framework+Performance Django 
beats ruby on rails and symfony (PHP). Django has a clean and elegant 
design which helps in coding productivity and code maintenance.

You can take a look at the django book on http://www.djangobook.com/en/beta/
