I''ve read a ton of comparisons that compare one framework to another, and one language to another. There''s so much conflicting advice out there that it''s hard to know what is best. Did I make the right choice choosing Rails for my first web project? I guess we''ll see. The only reason why I''m hesitant is that a lot of the big name sites use php

Hey everyone, I have a philosophical question here. Say I have a website that uses two models for accounts: Person and Company. Normally I would just have /accounts/new for user signup.

After this, I just opened the console and loaded the file into a string and did a regex search for my data -- the result was almost instantaneous. The question is, if I can get
