Presentation Abstract
jRuby allows a developer to run Ruby applications in a Java Virtual Machine. Adam Kalsey from Tropo will explain why you'd want to do that, what jRuby can do for you, and show how Tropo used jRuby in building a real-time communications cloud service. We'll talk about how to deploy apps on jRuby, and some of the pitfalls to watch out for.
