title: Creating a library application - which method to use?
body: <p>I was hoping to get some advice. I want to create an application which is like a library that holds a lot of different information including documents, pics etc where a user can log in and search for different topics and see the definition of terminology. For example users would be able to click on the word 'electical current' and a definition of electrical current would appear with also links to supporting information. The user will not be allowed to edit any information only read it. </p>
  
  <p>I am wondering what is the best language to use to do this? I know that storing all the information in a html file is definitely not the way to go. But I am not sure what to use - whether html linked to a database is a good option (I've heard that this is also not great because your database code is still accessible) or whether ror is a good option. I decided that ror would be a good framework to use but I still have some doubts such as:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>the application will not be hosted on the internet but only on an intranet would ror still be good for this?</li>
  <li>the 'site' is basically static except for a few users who will have admin access although it may have more user specific functions later on.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.</p>
