Synopsis
With the explosive growth of both the iOS and Android platforms, building an “app” is the new “I built a web site!” in terms of nerdy pursuits. Unfortunately, developing an app in traditional methods can be overwhelming for even a reasonably technical person who doesn’t possess a proper foundation in application programming. Come hear not only how RubyMotion can destroy the learning-curve associated with iOS app development, but also hear the steps and frustrations involved in starting a business and getting an app into the Apple App Store. Examples of RubyMotion code and its resulting app will be demoed.
