[Bunkhouse] Review of "Rails for Java Developers" by Stuart Halloway and Justin Gehtland

Jason reviewed Rails for Java Developers by Stuart Halloway and Justin Gehtland and gave it 8 out of 10 horseshoes.

Halloway and Gehtland provide a tutorial to learning Ruby and Rails by examining similarities with Java. ... The introduction of Ruby and Rails concepts by juxtaposing them with similar concepts implemented in Java is comforting for the developer who may feel a little intimidated by the differences between the languages. ... This is the best Java-centric Ruby introduction that I've seen and it's something I wish I had available to me when I was first learning the language.
