The birds and the bees are back once again, as is the droning buzz of Ruby on Rails. Join us this month as we welcome back Avity LLC and RoR/PHP developer Stephen Robinson.

Looking for a reality check on all that Ruby on Rails hype? What exactly is it and how does it stack up to PHP? When should it be used, when not, what should you tell your boss? If you're fed up of re-reading the same flame bait blogs and want a cold headed detail rich understanding, this talk is for you. We'll cover issues of performance, real world usage, interface capabilities, architecture, scaling, deployment issues and more.

Thank you to IBM for providing a great presentation space in Midtown Manhattan. As a service to our community, NY PHP UG meetings are always free and open to the public.
