160 pages. As a development team, you want to be productive. You want to write flexible, maintainable web applications. You want to use Ruby and Rails. But can you just ify the move away from established platforms such as J2EE? Bruce Tate's From Jav a to Ruby has the answers, and it expresses them in a language that'll help pers uade managers and executives who've seen it all. See when and where the switch m akes sense, and see how to make it. If you're trying to adopt Ruby in your orga nization 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 l ow-level technical debate to examine the real benefits and risks to adoption. J ava to Ruby is packed with interviews of Ruby customers and developers, so you c an see what types of projects are likely to succeed, and which ones are likely t o fail. Ruby and Rails may be the answer, but first you need to be sure you're a sking the right question.
