Make beautiful apps with beautiful code: use the elegant and
concise Ruby programming language with RubyMotion to write truly
native iOS apps with less code while having more fun. You'll learn
the essentials of creating great apps, and by the end of this book,
you'll have built a fully functional API-driven app. Whether you're
a newcomer looking for an alternative to Objective-C or a hardened
Rails veteran, RubyMotion allows you to create gorgeous apps with
no compromise in performance or developer happiness. Developers
interested in native iOS app development have been restricted to
the limits of Objective-C and Xcode--until RubyMotion came along.
RubyMotion enables you do full iOS development using Ruby. You have
access to familiar tools such as Rake and RubyGems and can compile
Ruby code into native applications. RubyMotion even comes with a
Ruby console useful for live coding and interactive debugging. And
since RubyMotion is built on top of the Objective-C runtime, you
can use all of Apple's libraries and most third-party code
alongside Ruby classes.This book takes you from zero knowledge of
iOS development to building an app that displays information about
colors using a web service API. You'll work through each topic with
a small example app that covers just enough to get you familiar
with the techniques you need to get real work done. You'll start
with just drawing boxes on the screen, but you'll quickly add
animations, a navigation stack, and high-performance table views.
You'll peek into less visible components, such as using Ruby
metaprogramming to create JSON-based models. You'll use some
incredibly useful common Ruby techniques that are only possible in
RubyMotion, such as writing automated unit tests with an RSpec-like
framework. Using both Apple's existing libraries and fresh,
community-driven RubyMotion projects, you'll be well on your way to
writing real-world apps. What You Need: A Macintosh running OS X
10.7 or later is required to install RubyMotion. RubyMotion is a
commercial product and currently requires a purchased license.
Experience with the Ruby language and Ruby tools like RubyGems and
Rake are suggested.
