Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Having heard about this book several months before its publication, I was very happy to find that it had exceeded my expectations. As a Java developer very interested in Ruby, I was somewhat surprised at the lack of printed documentation on JRuby. I found this book to be very up-to-date, practical, and easy to follow, with examples that I could immediately apply. Particularly useful for me were the sections on setting up your environment with JRuby, Rails, and your preferred IDE, as well as deploying rails with various application servers. The instructions for all the main app servers on the market were extremely clear, and I was able to get things up and running in very short order. Also, I found the chapter on Enterprise Java integration to be especially useful, as it provided specific recipes for using JNDI, JMS, integration with Spring and Hibernate frameworks. I would highly recommend this book for any JRuby enthusiasts out there, looking for a solid and comprehensive springboard into the technology.
Thank you Justin and Henry!

If you're interested in JRuby, you probably don't need a turorial 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
