iPhone Web Development and Ruby On Rails
- 1. iPhone Web Applications in Rails José de Leon and Bonnie Gabrick K-LUG May 13, 2010
- 4. Demos
- 10. Based on work derived from Basecamp, a web-based project-management application
- 11. Extracted as a distinct framework, Summer 2004
- 12. 1.0 release in December 2005 “ Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern.”
- 14. ActiveRecord Pattern – Object/Relational Mapping (ORM)

- 21. 37signals.com suite of applications, including Basecamp Project Management
- 23. Learning Spaces Technology Listings for WSU Teaching, Learning and Technology
- 25. Home website: http://iwebkit.net/
- 26. Can use iWebKit with any web development framework in any language you can create HTML from: PHP, Java/JVM languages, Python, .NET languages
- 27. Combining iWebKit with Rails allows for very fast prototyping of mobile web applications
- 29. Emphasis on semantics of actual content in the Document Object Model (DOM)
- 30. Canvas element allows for enhanced graphics
- 32. Local database support (stronger persistence in web apps)
- 33. Web-worker threads support (threads in web apps)
- 34. All combine to provide stronger support for richer web applications than ever before
- 38. Fully customized application integrated with iWebKit, replacing scaffolding with a componentized approach (some gotchas)
- 40. Change iWebKit CSS: image resource paths in the CSS file are adjusted to point to the Rails public/ folder
- 41. Place iWebKit CSS & JavaScript in their respective subdirectories in the Rails public/ folder
- 42. Change default index.html file in the original iWebKit distribution into a Rails ERB (.html.erb) template that loads the iWebKit CSS + JavaScript, and replace class templates in the views/layouts folder
- 44. Inside the Framework/javascript folder of the extracted ZIP archive, copy functions.js into Rails public/javascripts/ folder
- 46. Perform a search-and-replace on ../images replacing it with /images
- 47. Save the result in your Rails public/stylesheets folder, and give it the name iwebkit.css
- 50. Replace the opening <body> and closing </body> tags and replace the deleted content with the Rails <%= yield %> tag
- 51. Save the result in your Rails app/views/layouts folder as index.html.erb
- 52. For each class.html.erb file representing each class in the Rails app/views/layouts folder, replace that file with the index.html.erb created in Step 10.
