Presentation at Refresh Denver
Last week, Jay Graves and myself presented the differences between Ruby on Rails and Django at Refresh Denver. We decided on a common database schema, functionality and design. We then each built the same application in our respective frameworks.
During the presentation, we each explained our frameworks on a surface level followed by a brief demonstration of how each framework accomplished a few of the things that our applications did.
Jay's presentation can be found here and his Django application here.
My presentation can be found here and my Rails application here.
Overall, I absolutely believed this presentation to be a success! I'd like to see other frameworks and languages go head to head like this in the future. I feel like the ability to see two frameworks side by side was a real benefit, allowing a clearer look at how each works with respect to the other.
