 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 ideastransferable to Java.
David Bock
 Technical Director, Federal and Commercial Division, FGMInc.Stuart and Justin have pulled off what I once thought was an impos-sible feat: consolidating all the knowledge that a Java developer needsto understand Ruby on Rails. Until this book, you would have to readat 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 learningRails: every Java developer will benefit from learning the important lessons that Rails teaches.

 Application Architect/Developer, ThoughtworksIf 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 revealingthe 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’sfamiliar 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 placeto start. There is no better resource for quickly coming up to speed with Rails, Ruby, Rake, and ActiveRecord.
Mark Richards
Senior IT Architect, IBM To hear some tell it, there’s tension and rivalry between the Java andRails web development camps, but that’s hard to see from where Istand. 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 eyesof a lot of other Java developers who are looking for a nicer way to build web applications.
