iPhone on Rails

iPhone on Rails is a wonderful new project allowing you to work directly with Active Record models from your REST-ful Rails application in the iPhone SDK. By porting Active Record to Objective-C, Objective Resource is a wonderful interface for serializing objects to and from Rails’ standard RESTful web-services (via XML or JSON). And it handles much of the complexity involved with invoking web-services of any language from the iPhone. If you’re planning on developing for iPhone, stop by and check this project out!
