Re: Finding a developer

How much you need to worry about differences in ROR or django infistructure probably depends a lot on what your project entails. How much is it a job that requires a framework? Django or ROR can be used for pretty common generic web projects like a simple CMS system or it can be used for an involved web app that's got a lot of specific functionality. I guess you have to look at your specific functional needs and see how demanding or not they are and get a basic idea of how they might work under either framework. I've got a web app brewing in the back of my mind ( that I haven't coded yet :-/ and it relies on functionality through a specific mathematical python package. Python has a lot of packages written for it that may or may not have anything to do with web development. I'm not a ROR person, but I think ROR and Ruby itself have much less packages written for it since its more of a web development and server scripting language, while python is the language of choice for a lot of people that want to write code in an easy language with quick development time. For 99% of web projects this aspect of python may be completely irrelevant because you won't be using any of its plethera of packages. But is you need some specific, not so common functionality, see if there's some python code that does what you want, and if Ruby has that also. I like python in general, and so when I write websites its natural to use django. 

If you're doing something more like a run of the mill website there's less concern about which framework you choose.

But if you are going to scale or use large data stores and use alternative's to your SQL DB and really push the limits there's a lot of considerations that I'm not really up on . . . but you should either understand these or find someone else that does ( not me :-0 )

If you are doing the work yourself, use whichever you prefer. If you are paying someone else to do the work, give them the freedom to choose what to use. Just find someone who can complete the task at hand within your budget and the toolset really shouldn't matter -- as long as they're not doing it in some manner that no other developer will ever touch the code base.
