SnakesAndRubies: Python vs Ruby web frameworks bake-off
DePaul University hosted an extensive Django vs Rails discussion, and has made the video, audio and presentations available. It's 3 hours, but well worth it. Pretty extensive overview of each framework followed by over an hour of Q&A with some great questions. Some very good food for thought and discussion.
Update: Interesting comment and discussion during the post-presentation panel from David Heinemeier Hansson (starting about 2:31). He prefers not to start a company in Silicon Valley because of the big-startup, big-funding mentality, so Rails enables (by design) a start-up to be small and fast and not have to spend a lot of time coordinating a big project.
