March Madness!

Okay, so maybe madness is a strong word, but March is here, and Ruby and Rails events are back in full swing! We’ll be all over the globe talking Ruby, Rails, and for a special treat, Cloud Computing. If you’ll be in any of the areas we’re visiting, be sure to get in touch—we’d love to meet you!

JRuby BugMash and Events!

The holidays are behind us now, and it’s time to jump back into things! The JRuby team is easing into the new year with several upcoming gigs, and we’d love for you to get involved!

JRuby BugMash

The JRuby project has been growing impressively quickly, with frequent releases and a constantly expanding community. There’s a hefty list of impressive users and companies, and the team has been touring the world, trying their best to make it out to everyone who wants to hear and learn about the project.

Improving JRuby 1.9 compatibility

For some time I've been contributing with the JRuby team fixing bugs and adding some new features, and most of my work has been focused in Ruby 1.9 compatibility.

Yesterday, Nick Sieger wrote a blog about some things to look at JRuby 1.4, and I'd like to add my "from novice to novice" piece of advice.

Announcing The First Ever JRubyConf!

It’s our extreme pleasure to announce the first annual JRubyConf, to take place Sunday, November 22nd, immediately following RubyConf 2009! We’ve been working on putting this together for a little while now, and it’s finally time to share.
