From TheServerSide.com: In Practical JRuby on Rails Web 2.0 Projects, JRuby core developer Ola Bini shows how to leverage JRuby and Rails in a Java environment – including how to use JRuby from within an EJB (and how to use EJBs from JRuby), integration with message-oriented systems, using web services from JRuby, and managing deployments. These two chapters provide an introduction to JRuby and Rails…

Ola Bini is one of the core team of developers working on JRuby and the author of Practical JRuby on Rails Web 2.0 Projects, announced separately here on Ruby Inside. In conjunction with the launch of the book, I wanted to ask Ola some questions about his involvement with JRuby, how he used his knowledge to write the book, and where JRuby’s future is heading from here….

Bringing the power of what seems to be the world’s most popular Web application framework, Rails (Ruby on Rails), to Java is now simpler than ever thanks to the JRuby project.

To help learn, understand and use the JRuby project, the highly anticipated Practical JRuby on Rails Web 2.0 Projects by JRuby core developer, Ola Bini, has published and is already available on Amazon.com and other retailers.

This book will empower you to develop Rails applications, even if you’ve never used Ruby. And you later perhaps integrate into your already existing Java/Spring stack. The power of Rails is now in your hands, using this book. Enjoy.
