One of the perks of living in Silicon Valley is taking advantage of the SDForum, which usually promises some good healthy brain-overload on what's important to techies today.

The SDForum has just announced its line-up of speakers for the Security Conference, which takes place this September 19.

In case you haven't heard, JRuby is an all-Java implementation of the Ruby programming language. And here at the Ruby-fest in San Jose Nick Sieger of the JRuby core team educates us on the current apple of his eye: JRuby: Ruby on the JVM. He starts by asking, "What can Java do for Ruby?"

Into Ruby? Clear your weekend schedule and make a pilgrimage to San Jose, CA, the heart of Silicon Valley. Here at Mecca you will find the SDForum, the Valley's geektacular info-source in the tech community.
