Spry: Obnoxiously Easy iOS Development With RubyMotion

  • You might want to rename this so people don't confuse it for Adobe's JavaScript library (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html)

  • Hmm, the code translates to Objective-c almost one-to-one. I don't think it shows the potential of RubyMotion.

    The thing is, when you create a table view in iOS apps, most of the work is for design and interaction like swiping to show a set of controls.

  • I just hacked this together last night. Assuming it is not too dynamic for the App Store, I think it shows the true potential of RubyMotion.

  • I was trying to develop a similar library, but realized that I would need migrations pretty quickly. Do you have any ideas about the best way to do database migrations?

  • RubyMotion has potential but like any intermediary framework it will start to show cracks when building a real world application.

  • When did "obnoxious" even begin to approximate an adjective for ease?

    Why are we OK with this conflation of language for marketing gimmicks?

  • Matt,

    I'm developing an education app and would love for it to be in Rails. Know where to find a good Rails coder comfortable with RubyMotion and iOS?
