What readers are saying about Rails for Java Developers

Every Java developer should be exposed to ideas from different lan￾guages, and Ruby/Rails is a wellspring of good ideas. Read this

book—it will help you learn Ruby and Rails, and give you new ideas

transferable to Java.

Stuart and Justin have pulled off what I once thought was an impos￾sible feat: consolidating all the knowledge that a Java developer needs

to understand Ruby on Rails. Until this book, you would have to read

at least three books (and thousands of pages) to get the same under￾standing encapsulated in this excellent text. They clearly understand

both sides of the equation (RoR and Java), which allows them to cut

through irrelevancies and hone in on the important topics. This book

should be required reading for more than just the people learning

Rails: every Java developer will benefit from learning the important

lessons that Rails teaches.

If you are a Java developer and you want to explore Ruby on Rails,

this is the book to get. Justin and Stu do a masterful job of revealing

the intricacies of Ruby and Ruby on Rails from a Java developer’s per￾spective. Not only that, this book is extremely well written, and is a

pleasure to read.

Stu and Justin offer the Java developer the unique opportunity to

“get” Rails by presenting the Rails stack from a perspective that’s

familiar and comfortable. In doing so, they prove that Rails and Java

don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

If you are a Java developer trying to learn Rails, this book is the place

to start. There is no better resource for quickly coming up to speed

with Rails, Ruby, Rake, and ActiveRecord.

To hear some tell it, there’s tension and rivalry between the Java and

Rails web development camps, but that’s hard to see from where I

stand. Most of the happy Rails developers I know have a long history

as Java programmers, and while we love Java for what it does well,

web development in Java leaves a lot to be desired. Rails is a delight￾ful breath of fresh air, and I’m confident this book will open the eyes

of a lot of other Java developers who are looking for a nicer way to

build web applications.
