Ruby on Rails is proving itself to be one of the most efficient and powerful agile web development application frameworks available and has had a profound influence on the Java community. The JRuby project offers Java developers the best of two worlds: the flexibility of Ruby on Rails coupled with the enterprise-level power and maturity of the Java platform.

 

JRuby core developer Ola Bini covers everything you need to know to take full advantage of what JRuby has to offer, including:

 

* Full coverage on how to use JRuby to create web applications faster and more efficiently, while continuing to take advantage of the vast power of the Java platform
* Several real-world projects that illustrate the crucial specifics you need to know about the interaction of Java and Ruby
* Helpful, practical instruction and discussion on how web applications can be deployed using a variety of popular servers such as Apache and Mongrel

 

What youll learn:

 

* Create a Rails application that uses JDBC to talk to legacy databases.
* Use Java Management Extensions (JMX) to more effectively manage your application.
* Deploy a Rails application within a Java Enterprise web container (Tomcat).
* Create interoperable applications involving EJBs and Rails-driven web services.
* Securely integrate XML processing into your Ruby applications.
* Build cutting-edge Web 2.0 web sites using Rails, Prototype, and script.aculo.us to provide a pleasing user experience.
