In this interactive session, Thomas Enebo, JRuby developer at Engine Yard, will present how to tap into Ruby to complement an existing investment in Java. It will offer attendees a deep-dive of JRuby, a Java implementation of the Ruby programming language, which allows organizations to build secure, high-performance application functionality with Ruby while utilizing existing Java code and the JVM. Learn how adding JRuby to your development environment will not only help you build applications faster but will also be a fun experience. Find out why Ruby and Rails are grabbing the attention of enterprise developers.
