You can use the Java version of the code, plus the analysis, to quickly grok what the Rails version is doing. Written by experienced developers who love both Java and Ruby, this book will show you, via detailed comparisons and commentary, how to translate your hard-earned Java knowledge and skills into the world of Ruby and Rails. If you are a Java programmer, you shouldn't have to start at the very beginning! You already have deep experience with the design issues that inspired Rails, and can use this background to quickly learn Ruby and Rails. We'll be your guides to this new, but not strange, territory.

Thanks to your background in Java, this one short book can cover a half-dozen books' worth of ideas:Programming Ruby Building MVC (Model/View
