Wow! I knew you could do that with JRuby and was already doing it actually. But this video is VERY effective in demonstrating the whole process and the great Netbeans support to unlearn or Skeptical people. That's really great!

Good tutorial. One small remark though: CRUD stands for Create, *Retrieve*, Update, Delete.

It's a good thing that Netbeans is developing world class support for Ruby. I enjoy it and certainly expect to enjoy that with RoR. On the other hand, I have mixed feelings! What I read/feel is that because MS started the all IronPython thing (that people are not really into), Sun decided it had to promote another contender. This is a pitty because there is many many people in the Python community using Java strongly (definetively more so than C++) and because of this I think the Python community feels like they are being punished.

Great Tutorial, but I really see the power going in the opposite direction. Using Rails to supply data to Java. Java/Swing desktop applications being used to generate Rails calls for update/modify/delete of database records, for a website that show the companies products and deals with the end user. That could be sooooooo powerful
