I’m starting to build a script for a Penny Auction site like swoopo.com
What framework should I use?
Whats the best way to keep the timers updated without using too much bandwidth?
This all started when I started looking at all the junk thats currently out there.
Most are using PHP and javascript and I feel there is a much better solution.
I have only ever coded in PHP and java and am looking to use this project to learn something new. I have been looking into RoR, would this be suitable for this kind of project?
You must be able to do server pushes.
In ruby you can use orbited (http://github.com/collin/orbited-ruby).
