Less uses existing css syntax. This means you can migrate your current .css files to .less in seconds and there is virtually no learning curve.

The best way to explain Less is to show you some code, so please go ahead and check out the examples below.

Variables

Variables allow you to specify widely used values in a single place, and then re-use them throughout the style sheet, making global changes as easy as changing one line of code.

Regular CSS

#header {

color: #4D926F;

}

h2 {

color: #4D926F;

}

LESS CSS

@brand_color: #4D926F;
#header {

color: @brand_color;

}
h2 {

color: @brand_color;

}

He asked me to ask you guys of help. It is the question which is discussed everywhere - Ruby on Rails vs. PHP - but most of them are not very neutral. Many of them are too pro for Ruby on Rails or too pro for PHP.

ruby-vs-php Whats better? Ruby on Rails vs. PHP

Ruby on Rails is a relatively new and young programming language. By doing a research for advantages and disadvantages. PHP is easy to learn and many people have experience with it. In our mind are some more important questions.

What’s about:

  1. Performance?
  2. Security?
  3. Scalability?

This is an invitation for all of you to make your point of view clear, so that this question will be asked the last time!

It’s your turn: What’s the best- Ruby on Rails or PHP?

Its community still lacks in user and exstensions, but the intuitive design of the admin control panel convinces.
