Power up your Rails applications using JRuby and GlassFish
Please join use for this two day seminar at the Bentley Reserve in San Francisco. During the free session on day one, top JRuby and GlassFish technologists will present an overview on the benefits of using JRuby and GlassFish for your Rails applications. During the technical deep dive on day two (registration fee required), you will learn the gory details necessary for JRuby and GlassFish to massively scale your Rails apps -- and a surprise guests will stop by as well. Get ready to drink from the firehose!
Instructors: Nick Sieger, Arun Gupta, Vivek Pandey, Jacob Kessler, and a very special surprise guest!
Important: Please make sure that you have all necessary software installed before the event.
Overview
Web development has never been easier than with Ruby on Rails. Ruby is
a popular open-source language and has gained exponential momentum in
the recent past. Rails is an open-source web framework for developing
database-backed applications according to the Model-View-Controller
pattern.
From the first day using Ruby-on-Rails, you have a runnable application, complete with development server. JRuby, a 100%-pure Java implementation of the Ruby language, provides a complete runtime for Ruby on the Java platform. With JRuby, Rails can beeasily run on the Java platform. JRuby on Rails brings the agility of Rails to Java technology-based servers and applications, from the simplest web applications to the largest enterprise deployments. It promises agility for web tier developers across all organizations, in addition to the ease of use and proven scalability of Java technology-based application servers, such as GlassFish.
Day 1 (Free) - An
introduction to Ruby, JRuby and JRuby on Rails.
You will learn how Java and Ruby applications can be integrated
together. It will show how to configure GlassFish to run
JRuby-on-Rails applications. By following the simple deployment steps
shown in this talk, attendees will learn about the different deployment
options provided by GlassFish. Attendees will also learn how GlassFish
provides a more robust development and deployment platform for
JRuby-on-Rails applications than the conventional Rails model.
Day
2 ($299) - Deep Dive - In-depth understanding of JRuby and GlassFish. Register Here.
