So company X got into problems using rails, so they switched to .NET using company Y. And this is from a company referred to by company Y? That's not the most impartial conversation. There's a lot of worrying about technology there - which can be relevant. But i've seen projects get bogged down in many different languages too, the skills of a company to produce are varied and include project management. There could be many, many reasons the Rails project didn't do too well and the .NET project is going better. And I bet few of them are to do with Rails. -- Andy McKay, @andymckay Django Consulting, Training and Support -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
