A lot of the information came from this post which helped me no end for setting up my API. I'll add a bit more detail in this post to help explain some of the settings and I needed to do quite a bit of reading to understand it all. My intention is to build a Rails API and then build a separate React.js frontend to consume that API. In this post I'll just discuss the setting up of the Rails API but may write a post later about React.
A fairly quick post today but one which covers a problem that took me quite a while to figure out how to do it in an elegant way. In short I had a UILabel and wanted to add some right padding to it and I figured it should be pretty easy to do. Several hours later…
In today's post I'll quickly go over the setup process to create your models in core data with the CDQ gem. I won't go into actually working with the models in your app just yet but I will cover that in a later app. This should serve as a handy reminder for the setup process and I'll use two example models in this example.
In todays post I'm going to walk through using the interface builder in Xcode based on a tutorial by MotioninMotion. I highly recommend signing up to the tutorials for this site as I've found them to be extremely helpful.
This is a really short post to help show how the UIViewController Lifecycle works.
In this post I'm going to extend the previous post to show how to delegate a button press in a UIView to a UIViewController. The button will simply push another instance of my UIViewController onto stack and is a simple example of a custom delegate method in RubyMotion.
To date I have mainly focused on learning Rails as well as improving my front end skills with HTML, CSS, Javascript and jQuery. However, I'm also really keen to build iOS apps and given my Ruby background I think RubyMotion will be a great way to start building my first app.
