Many Java developers are now looking at Ruby, and the Ruby on Rails web
framework. If you are one of them, this book is your guide. Written by
experienced developers who love both Java and Ruby, this book will show
you, via detailed comparisons and commentary, how to translate your
hard-earned Java knowledge and skills into the world of Ruby and Rails.
If you are a Java programmer, you shouldn't have to start at the very
beginning! You already have deep experience with the design issues that
inspired Rails, and can use this background to quickly learn Ruby and
Rails. But Ruby looks a lot different from Java, and some of those
differences support powerful abstractions that Java lacks. We'll be your
guides to this new, but not strange, territory. In each chapter, we
build a series of parallel examples to demonstrate some facet of web
development. Because the Rails examples sit next to Java examples, you
can start this book in the middle, or anywhere else you want. You can
use the Java version of the code, plus the analysis, to quickly grok
what the Rails version is doing. We have carefully cross-referenced and
indexed the book to facilitate jumping around as you need to. Thanks to
your background in Java, this one short book can cover a half-dozen
books' worth of ideas:

- Programming Ruby
- Building MVC (Model/View/Controller) Applications
- Unit and Functional Testing
- Security
- Project Automation
- Configuration
- Web Services
