Riguardo questo articolo

JRuby users don't need yet another tutorial on building Rails applications or another treatise on why Entity Beans are Bad Things. They need quick instructions on how to put JRuby to use: how to take advantage of Java's many libraries, how to run Rails web applications inside a Java container, how to integrate with other Java applications, and more. These problems require a cookbook approach, not a tutorial. That's what the "JRuby Cookbook" gives you: a short, concise book that shows, step-by-step, how to solve the problems you face from day to day.

Riassunto

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 McWhirter, Research & Prototyping, Red Hat Middleware
