Is Spring hard compared to Ruby on Rails?
java, ruby-on-rails, spring
Solution
Both Spring and Ruby on Rails share the "convention over configuration" moto. This reduces code lines significantly. Ruby on Rails is a Web Framework and it could be compared with Spring MVC, together with an ORM tool like Hibernate.
One could say that Spring together with Spring MVC or another MVC framework and Hibernate are the closest that you can get to Ruby on Rails for the Java world.
However, Spring has a much wider scope than RoR.
Problem
If I have little to no experience in either of them, but know enough Java and Ruby to be comfortable, is one framework harder to learn than the other? Is one easier to use for the beginner on these? I know it is hard to answer. Just looking for general thoughts on it.
