Get ready for an interactive afternoon of coding and discussion on JRuby and GlassFish on Aug 8th in San Francisco, CA. In this free event, JRuby on Rails: Power plus simplicity, learn how to code and deploy a JRuby on Rails application that harnesses the expansive collection of first-rate Java libraries.

The complete agenda is available here. Here are the pre-requisites for participating:

• WiFi-enabled laptop (don't forget the power cable)
• Download Ruby NetBeans IDE or IDE/Text editor of your choice
• Come hungry and thirsty as there will be a FREE catered dinner and open bar

As a starter, here are some of the previous entries on JRuby. These incrementally show how to develop a JRuby app that can connect to database and deploy on GlassFish.

• Ruby-on-Rails Hello World on GlassFish
• Database-enabled Hello World RoR App
• Database-enabled RoR WAR on GlassFish

This event is sponsored by Sun Microsystems and Joyent.

See you there!
