Hi, I'm Ruby on Rails - Part 3
by Jason on May 16, 2007
Here we are with the third commercial in the series(Part 1, Part 2) where we continue with the PHP guy. Apologies to all 3 of you who were hoping for Fortan.
Gregg Pollack and Jason Seifer from RailsEnvy present:
Ruby on Rails vs PHP - Organization - ad #3 of 4

We just wanted to say thanks again to Jason over at Make. Film. Work. for the great video work.
We're also really sorry but we had to turn on moderation for comments because of all the trolling. We're just having fun, guys, try not to take it too seriously. Except for the part where we say that Ruby on Rails can beat up your dad, because it can.
On a serious note, though, we're not trying to bash any frameworks or languages... We know PHP has frameworks that allow for organization like Rails as well as database abstraction and OR mapping. We believe in using the best tool for the job, what ever that may be. These videos are for FUN and are not intended to start language or framework wars. Which is why our next ones are going to be vi vs emacs. Totally kidding.

I hate you guys! For real, This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
I love rails and have been an evangelist for over a year now. DHH for president (he’s our man if he can’t do it no one can.)
So thanks guys, thank you for making me realize I’m a total NERD!!
P.S. Hurry up with #4 I want this girl I like to see it.
Each day a better one! Great job guys…
These are great gents. Let me know if you need anyone to play COBOL when you get the movie deal.
Great stuff! Keep it coming!
PHP pwns RoR…. kidding!
Nice videos guys…hopefully you start coming out with some useful tutorials before I start “calculating how much time you just wasted” in php/mysql code.
I think it’s SQL! That was hilarious!
Great adds! It’s regrettable you will stop producing them when RailsConf begins. I’d love to see more of them.
Drop. Dead. Hilarious. Thanks for doing this, guys—you’re making the wait for Portland more bearable. Love the use of props. (I still think the bear in the jar was the best.)
Even better, guys, love it :)
Hilarious! I was hoping you’d do this one.
I commend you on the production, and it was well implemented. I have seen some bad programming patters for PHP before…. most of the people that have been using PHP for years now have a sense of structure though.
cough PHP is better cough
Outstanding! So awesome. You guys are doing a great job. Hope to get a chance to meet you at RailsConf!
LMAO. You guys rock!. I wish I lived in orlando so I could join the group. I live in Vegas, and there is a total of 2 ruby users here that I have found, and I’m one and I work with the other :(
Now how about Ruby Vs ASP.NET/C# ? All of the .NET developers really want to see that.
Much better than the last PHP one, but I liked the Java one the best…
What the HECK was in that last jar, anyway???
Who’s next? Dot Net? Perl? My advice: don’t even try to take on Python/Django…
Hey Gregg, go for Lisp!
Ok, the 2nd one didn’t seem as funny to me, but the first and third are hilarious. Great work, guys. :)
It’s really scary how high the level of quality on these is. You could see one on tv and think it was just another commercial. Very well done. I’d love to see more than 4 though. Maybe a new one each week? :)
vi vs emacs would be a blast
Makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I’m supposed to be maintaining a PHP site right now and that ad doesn’t even start to convey how tangled and messy it is… I want Rails!
Hello, Your site is great. Regards, Valintino Guxxi
Hello
Great book. I just want to say what a fantastic thing you are doing! Good luck!
Bye
