Using JRuby helps experienced Java hands and Rubyists see what's on the other side of the fence--and bring the best of Ruby to the broad universe of Java environments.

With JRuby, you can:

• Run your interpreted or compiled Ruby program in environments where the Java Virtual Machine is a requirement. Treat JRuby as a "better Ruby," with faster performance for some uses and hassle-free linkage to third-party code. Make your Java program scriptable with Ruby. Build an app on solid libraries written in Java, Scala, Clojure, or other JVM languages.
  
• You'll learn how to call Java code from Ruby, and vice versa. You'll gain first-hand experience with dozens of JRuby's most common uses, from running web sites to building GUIs. And you'll see how it's all put together under the hood.
  
• JRuby lets you merge the best of several possible worlds, so you can create unique software using the best tools available.
