This weekend Jason and I had the pleasure of attending the Lone Star Ruby Conference where we decided to premiere the video below:

Thanks again to Jason Hawkins from MakeFilmWork.com for the video production and Erika Greco for the Rails Envy logo.
Spoiler Alert! - After taking a good look at Django and weighing all the pros/cons, I didn't really think we should make fun of it. Django is a great framework for building web applications, one that employs many of the same techniques that Ruby on Rails does. If it wasn't for Rails I'd probably be programming Django right now. Amongst a sea of mediocre web frameworks it's definitely close to the top.
We have two more videos to release during Railsconf Europe (although we won't be in attendance), so stay tuned. We were going to save this one for last because, as you'll see, it's rather out there. We hope you like it.
I’ve got to say, I was a little nervous about how you would treat Django, but well done boys, well done. Looks like I’ll owe you a beer @ BarCamp Orlando
Nice job, guys. Had a great time at Marcel’s. You definitely made a convincing villager, Gregg…
Go white boy go white boy go!
Ahaha that’s genius - nice dancing guys ;)
I love it :D
:::: I should take a look at django and see what it can offer to me as web developer ::::
loooooooooollll
Hey,, try Seaside. It Rocks! www.seaside.st
Great video, but, um, CGI isn’t an obsolete programming language … It’s not really a programming language at all.
Also, without CGI, Ruby on Rails would be Ruby Sitting on the Rails and Going Nowhere.
HAHAHA This was HILARIOUS! Unfortunately… while that ror guys looks like a clean gentleman…
I LOVE DJ ANGO!!!! XXSSSSXSZZZXSS!
Talk like Python! sszsHSHSSXXXZSHSH SHSH Bite bite!
What about part 2:
Heh. Very funny. Well-done.
Now, if we could just get the Rails guy – and everyone else – to stop pronouncing it “Da-jango!” The D is silent. “Jango!”
:)
Did you both intend to mispronounce Django? I believe the ‘d’ is silent.
Go for a Seaside video guys, go for a Seaside video.
I’m wondering what will happen when Django and Rails be the #1 and #2(#1 Django and #2 Rails… of course) web applications framework in the world… “The web paradise”
DJ-Ango and MC R’o’R’
That was so funny, I’m cryyying!
Other than the fact that you spilt beer, you gotta love the multi language props. Cheers!
Loved it save for the drinking beer in the car shot, bad message there even though it was not intentional. Great vid otherwise yo!
Simply superb. Even I was a little nervous at first … it’s good to see that you guys are not one of those RoR zealots who don’t understand anything (about Django and RoR) and yet just keep on spreading FUD. Rock on!
Great commercial guys! Reminds me of this bash.org classic http://bash.org/?400459
Hilarious! Hilarious video!
So far THE BEST !!!
