What I Left With:

• Big project? Big budget? = ASP.net.


• Little project? Small budget? = Ruby on Rails.

What I Left With:

• With Ruby on Rails, debugging is done in the command line. Want to see the value of a variable? You have to go to the command line and run a command on that variable nae. Wheras in ASP.net, using Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2008, you can just hover the cursor over a variable and see its value. The former is preferred by me.


• The language format of Ruby on Rails seems ugly to me. I prefer the format of C#, Java, and JavaScript.
