Résumé

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.

Developers often struggle beneath Java's mountains of complexity, even though the project might not need Java at all. Led by the powerful and productive Ruby on Rails framework, Ruby offers incredible productivity, surprising performance, and ultimately developer satisfaction. Java developers often know better languages are out there, but can't always communicate the benefits to their management chain.

Enter Java to Ruby. Most books talk about the benefits of technology, but risk, skills, and fit also come into play. Other books cannot overcome the most basic management objection: risk. This book attacks user objections head on, in language friendly to developers and managers.
