From: Pieter Kubben Date: 2006-09-06T04:09:28+09:00 Subject: Cross-platform standalone Ruby apps ? Hi, I am new here, experience with PHP and looking for a similar language that permits to do cross-platform programming of database driven apps, so that they run on Mac OS X, Linux and Windows from one codebase with some recompiling. Preferably relatively easy to distribute. Could Ruby work for this? And what would be the best database to go for? (I read about Ruby on Rails, might be a nice addition to my PHP knowledge but first I need to know the answer to my question above) Hope you can help me out!
