Parleys.com: JRuby On Rails

The Ruby programming language has exploded in popularity, spurred in part by the agility of the Rails web framework. Rails has in turn changed the way we look at web development. The two together are forcing developers to rethink how applications should be written. The world is changing. JRuby aims to bring Ruby to Java developers and provide an alternative platform for Ruby developers. In this presentation Thomas and Charles explain Ruby and show what makes it great, demonstrate how JRuby brings Ruby to Java and Java to Ruby, explore how JRuby on Rails brings agile web development to Java EE and Java EE's best features to Rails, and discuss the future of Ruby, Rails, and dynamic languages on the JVM.
