If you're interested in JRuby, you probably don't need a tutorial on
Ruby, Rails, or Java -- you just need to know how to get things done.
This Cookbook offers practical solutions for using the Java
implementation of the Ruby language, with targeted recipes for deploying
Rails web applications on Java servers, integrating JRuby code with Java
technologies, developing JRuby desktop applications with Java toolkits,
and more. Using numerous reusable code samples, JRuby Cookbook shows
you how to:
- Install and update JRuby on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and IDEs
such as NetBeans and Eclipse
- Package and deploy Rails apps on Java Servlet containers and Java EE
application servers, including JBoss, Tomcat, and GlassFish
- Integrate Ruby and Rails applications with popular Java EE
technologies such as JMS, JMX, JPA, Spring, and Hibernate
- Develop desktop and client applications with cross-platform Java UI
technologies and toolkits such as Swing, SWT, and Java 2D
- Maximize the flexibility of your testing and build environment, using
both existing Java-based tools such as Ant and Maven and newer
Ruby-based tools such as Rake, Raven, and Buildr
The JRuby interpreter combines Ruby's simplicity and ease of use with
Java's extensive libraries and technologies, a potent blend that opens
new possibilities for Ruby, Rails, and Java. This Cookbook helps you
take full advantage of JRuby's potential.
"The JRuby Cookbook is an excellent book for any polyglot who is
trying to bridge the gap between Java and Ruby. It provides solutions to
specific problems developers face in both their development and testing
environments, along with the applications they're building."-- Bob
