If I were building something form the ground up, I'd favor Ruby. But there my already be something that does pretty much what you want, and that can be a great benefit. Look around. Go search rubyforge.org and sourceforge.org (for example). >> IS it possible (with a use of RUBY) clearly seperate user interface from >> data model & control logic? Absolutely. I'd argue that, all things being equal, this is better done in Ruby than PHP, but you can write good and bad code in either language. I Ruby, though, has a cleaner syntax. >> > > You should do little more research before posting. Have a look at > Rails or Nitro. These are good places to start. I've also been poking around into IOWA, too. http://www.nitroproject.org/ http://www.rubyonrails.com/ http://enigo.com/projects/iowa/index.html Enjoy, and welcome to Ruby (if that's your choice). -- James Britt "Blanket statements are over-rated"
