JRuby & JVM
A decade ago, Java was the only game in
down. If you were a developer, chances were you programmed in Java. You
ran your applications on the Java platform. You used Java libraries. It
was a simpler time.
Now, in 2009, everything is so complicated. Microsoft and Adobe have join the Java world in supporting cross-platform VMs and libraries.
There
are a good dozen languages to choose from when building applications
for the JVM. And with world markets in turmoil, the classic old Java
skillset isn't enough anymore.
In this talk, we'll explore how
JRuby represents this new age. An off-platform language with new ideas
and new solutions to classic problems. A vibrant community responsible
for dozens of books and conferences around the world, and hundreds of
new libraries. And all this on top of the Java platform, with all the
capabilities it offers.
We'll explore a few key app development domains, and show why Ruby will be your new favorite language.
