I would like to share a story that just took place.



I developed a habit of working from a nice coffee place called Gloria
Jeans (Especially that I don't like Starbucks). The place happens to
have a free WIFI for the customers. As I walked in, I saw a young lady
and a young man setting up their new MacBook. I introduced myself and
welcomed them to the Mac world and helped them setup a few things, as
they had just started their Mac for the first time. They were so
excited and in love with their machine. I also told them about our Mac Users Group, and they said they will join and spread the word.

It would be great if we can get more & more users to this group to share our thoughts, and hopefully learn. Please, all Mac users out there, help us create a decent community.

I'm not alone, read what this guy had to go through when he migrated to RoR from PHP, and then went back!

I'm always angry when someone mentions RoR, it's like teaching a new dog new tricks, when the old dog knows it all.

For the love of god, stop migrating to RoR just because it's cool. No one ever said RoR sucks, it's just that there's SO much pre-exisitng PHP code that you would never find in any other language. 40% of the top 100 sites are PHP, and PHP is the most used language on the Internet. What else do you want to know?

PHP does have tons of frameworks, yet doesn't force a style or a paradigm. You can do whatever you want with it, you can even build the biggest, most trafficked site in the universe!

Why the hell do you even want to consider something else!
