52. Build a JS App!
Backbone.js: MVC in the browser
Rails asset pipeline concatenate

53. Build a JS App!
Backbone.js: MVC in the browser
to Rails asset pipeline concatenate
the code.. again?

57. TL;DR
Mobile Apps need an API
Ruby on Rails is good for writing APIs
You can build nice admin interfaces
with ActiveAdmin
You can craft Javascript Apps easily
using the asset pipeline.
