iPhone on Rails

Posted by Nathan Kaiser on Thu Mar 12 13:56:00 UTC 2009

Agile development with Ruby on Rails is a great tool. You can quickly develop dynamic sites backed by a database. I bet you didn’t know that you could also use Ruby on Rails for iPhone development. Well you can. Thanks to the iPhone on Rails project started by the guys over at Y!factoral. With their Objective Resource, you can easily connect your REST-ful Rails application with a native iPhone application. It provides a way to serialize objects to and from Rails’ standard RESTful web-services (via XML or JSON) and handles much of the complexity involved with invoking web-services of any language from the iPhone. As both an iPhone application host and a Ruby on Rails host, Blue Box Group is excited for the potential of this project. If you’ve got a Rails app you’ve been wanting to port to iPhone, you should check this out. “Head on over to their site to find out more!”:http://www.iphoneonrails.com
