JRuby in Action
Abstract
This session will give an introduction to Ruby and JRuby, walking you through the language basics up through more advanced and cool features. We'll show how to get JRuby and popular Ruby libraries set up and running with Java as the only requirement. We'll walk through building a simple Rails application, wiring in Java libraries, and deploying to a typical Java server. We'll build a GUI application using NetBeans Matisse and the MonkeyBars MVC framework. And if there's time, we'll show how to build a simple 3D game using JMonkeyEngine and JRuby.
