In a comment from over on this post today, Nola Stowe wrote in to tell us about a series of posts she's done over on her blog concerning Ruby from the perspective of a PHP developer learning it from the ground up.

She has several posts on the topic already, including (most recent last):

• Ruby for the PHP Programmer...
• Objects - Ruby vs. PHP
• Extending Objects - Ruby vs. PHP
• Attribute Accessors - Ruby vs. PHP
• The Saga Continues: Language tidbits in Ruby Vs. PHP

It's great to see well thought out comments covering the differences and similarities between the two languages. With Ruby's popularity skyrocketing and PHP being a powerful, flexible standby, it'll be interesting to see where the future lies...
