which technology is best for a Facebook application Ruby on Rails or C# and ASP?
- by Johnny
hi,
My friend and I want to write a Facebook application. We've narrowed down the list of possible technologies to Ruby on Rails and C# with ASP. Here are the pros and cons we've thought of.
Cons:
ASP - proprietary tools like Visual Studio etc. cost (lots of) money. We both don't know ASP (although we're not bad at C#).
RoR - It's scripting so might be harder to maintain. My friend doesn't know RoR at all (but he's a fairly proficient programmer so will probably be able to pick it up quickly).
Pros:
ASP - Facebook has an official SDK for .NET.
RoR - I know RoR. It's open source, free and has fast development time.
What says the community? Is there something we haven't thought of?
