The 5 Mandates of Software Development Teams - Presto Manifesto
In the description, of IronRuby there is a rather dismissive reference to being able to mix your IronRuby with your IronPython and your C#, followed by "Why would you want to do that, except to torture your developers". This is then almost immediately followed with the glowing review of JRuby which is fantastic "because you can use all your Java code". Hmmm...
IronRuby and JRuby are in concept identical, i.e. both are implementations on top of VMs that can run other languages, which may or may not be languages that you have legacy code in. So how is this something puzzling on .NET and at the same time the thing that makes JRuby great?
3 answers:
- Java language is more involve in lots of cross platform open source project
- Apparently performance of jruby seems better than ironruby

- I think that Ruby to run .net programs is cool, but Ruby to run ironPython doesn't seem cool.

I'm sorry, but none of answers addresses why language interop in the jvm is great, but in the clr it's something you'd to do torture developers. At that point it's just a value judgment of "i like java, but i don't like .net", which may be a valid opinion, but sort of irrelevant in a Ruby VM comparison.
Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
