We at ThoughtWorks are delighted to invite you to our latest GeekNight. An exciting talk about cutting edge technology and tons of learning await you! You also get to meet like minded geeks in a space that encourages open discussions with fellow technologists.

JRuby is an implementation of Ruby for the JVM. It gives you unprecedented integration with the Java ecosystem while still having access to great Ruby libraries such as Rails, RSpec and many more. The last year has seen amazing uptake, many new committers, thousands of bugs fixed and lots of new functionality. This talk will give a short introduction to JRuby, and provide more information on where the project is now and where it is going. It will also introduce some of the fantastic new tools in the JRuby 1.5 release.
