| As a development team, you want to be productive. You want
to write flexible, maintainable web applications. You want
to use Ruby and Rails. But can you justify the move away
from established platforms such as J2EE? Bruce Tate's From
Java to Ruby has the answers, and it expresses them in a
language that'll help persuade managers and executives
who've seen it all. See when and where the switch makes
sense, and see how to make it.
If you're trying to adopt Ruby in your organization and need
some help, this is the book for you.
Based on a decision tree (a concept familiar to managers and
executives,) Java to Ruby stays above the low-level
technical debate to examine the real benefits and risks to
adoption.
Java to Ruby is packed with interviews of Ruby customers and
developers, so you can see what types of projects are likely
to succeed, and which ones are likely to fail. Ruby and
Rails may be the answer, but first you need to be sure
you're asking the right question. By addressing risk and
fitness of purpose, Java to Ruby makes sure you're asking
the right questions first.
Because technology adoption is only the beginning, Java to
Ruby walks you through the whole lifecycle of prototype,
ramp up, and production and deployment.
