And lastly, here is the 4th and final commercial in the series (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).

Ruby on Rails vs PHP - Changing Database - ad #4 of 4

Thanks to all of those we met at Railsconf, and thanks again to Jason over at Make. Film. Work. for the great video work.

We are planning on filming a few more "Mac vs PC" Parodies before we put it to rest, so be sure to Subscribe to our RSS feed if you haven't. Also, if you have any ideas on what you'd like to see in these new Ads, definitely send us a line (Suggestions at Railsenvy.com).

P.S. Yes, we know PHP has tools that will allow it to do Relational Database Mapping. It's just too bad not all PHP applications start with this built in (as Rails does).

Hi, I'm not Ruby on Rails

by gregg on May 17, 2007

I'm sure many of you are looking to this blog today to find the 4th Rails ad. Well, I have bad news and good news.

The bad news is we're not going to post the last video on this blog until Monday. I can hear you booing, I know I know.

The good news is that today we talked with the Railsconf powers that be, and they may be playing the videos at the conference. The final 4th video will be premiered there as a treat to those attending, sometime this weekend. I will keep you posted if I find out when.

Until then, if you need a fix, check out The Killer Tortoise, this YouTube video is much more popular than ours. If you need a geek fix, you can pretend the turtle is Ruby on Rails and the cat is Java. Sure Rails runs a little slower, but it may eventually eat your face.

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.

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.

Hi, I'm Ruby on Rails - Part 2

Yesterday we released the first of four commercials filmed in the style of the Mac vs PC ads. The rest of the ads are with the PHP guy, who looks strangely like the Java guy. ;-)

What do you get when you cross the Mac vs PC commercials and Rails Envy? Ruby on Rails ads to get everyone hyped for Railsconf, that's what!

We'll be releasing one every day leading up to RailsConf. Feel free to place this video in other places by using YouTube's flash snippet.

Masterfully edited and filmed by Jason Hawkins over at Make. Film. Work. Definitely get in touch with him if you need any video work done of any kind.
