In-Depth Ruby on Rails and Django Comparison
Vaporbase has a 15 part, very nice and very detailed post about the differences between Rails and Django. They compare the two frameworks on over 20 criteria and give some good things to think about when deciding to select one for your own project.
They evaluate in the following areas:
- Evaluating Web Development Frameworks: Rails and Django (part 1/15)
- Rails and Django – Project and Community (part 2/15)
- Rails and Django – Programming Language (part 3/15)
- Rails and Django – Framework Concept (part 4/15)
- Rails and Django – Installation / Directory Structure (part 5/15)
- Rails and Django – Database and Models (part 6/15)
- Rails and Django – Routing and Controllers (part 7/15)
- Rails and Django – Templates, Forms (part 8/15)
- Rails and Django – Data and User Administration (part 9/15)
- Rails and Django – AJAX (part 10/15)

- Rails and Django – User Extensions (part 13/15)
- Rails and Django – Development Cycle (part 14/15)
- Rails and Django – Conclusions (part 15/15)
Check it out here: Evaluating Web Development Frameworks: Rails and Django. I’m not experienced with Django, but from a Rails developers perspective, it is a good reflection of what I think in many areas. They even have it packaged in a printable PDF
