RubyMotion for Faster/Client Server Development

on YouTube ↗54m

" summary

Shows how to build a RubyMotion iOS client that talks to a Rails JSON API using Storyboards via ib gem and Bundler + CocoaPods; demonstrates networking with AFNetworking, async image loading with SDWebImage, and object mapping/crud with RestKit 0.20 (mapping rules, request/response mapping, and router examples). Claims faster client/server development and shared Ruby skillset; notes blocking calls freeze the UI, debugging and closed‑source/tooling limits, but libraries like RestKit and SDWebImage work reliably.
