Why you should use Rails 3 and not Django
Submitted by Richard on Sun, 09/05/2010 - 12:28I wrote a blog post recently titled 'Django vs Rails' and I had a lot of people read it. In the post I was very much more pro Django, but I do believe Rails 3 changes the outlook somewhat. Over the summer I was able to go to Euro-Python in Birmingham, UK and RubyConf in Tsukuba, Japan.
Yes it is another one of those comparison blog posts! I apologize but I had to write something about this. This one got me stuck as I couldn't see any such methods in the ActiveRecord API, but with a little help from Google Ruby on Rails: Talk group I managed to work it out. Easy as that Some of the following is in Japanese so please excuse this a little, but I am setting up an Restful API in Rails that outputs JSON data, I wanted to check the multi-level JSON objects contained specific data. I am currently writing an Rails app that uses quite a few database calls. I wanted to cut these calls down so I knew I would need to use the :include option in ActiveRecord. I was expecting from what Ryan Bates mentioned in one of his RailsCasts that a nice join would be created for me in one query.Tags:
