• JRuby: Java and Ruby Together at Last by Dominic Da Silva   - [Clicks: 78]
  Ruby is the programming language on the tip of everyone's tongue these days. The power and ease of software development with Ruby has catapulted web frameworks such as Ruby on Rails into the forefront of web application development. Over the last 10 years, Java has grown to become the leading object-oriented software development language and runs on a multitude of platforms. JRuby is a 100% pure Java implementation of the Ruby programming language. This article gives an overview of JRuby and shows how it leverages the Java language to bring Java developers a fast and powerful alternative for creating application solutions.

• Ruby for the Java world by Joshua Fox   - [Clicks: 54]
  Dynamic languages are the up-and-coming competitors to Java. Expanding their scope beyond glue code and Web GUIs into the heavy-duty challenges once faced only with a compiler, languages such as Python, PHP, Groovy, and Ruby have rapidly gained popularity among programmers. Ruby in particular has attracted attention, with a big boost from the Ruby on Rails Web framework. Java programmers who appreciate the value of Ruby still need a way to get it to play nicely with the huge installed base of Java software. The JRuby interpreter provides the solution. Like the Jython interpreter and the Python language, JRuby executes Ruby code and allows Ruby objects to call Java code, and vice versa. In this article, Joshua Fox introduces Java programmers to Ruby, focusing on the similarities, differences, and connectivity between the two languages.
