Are you like me? Have you tried iOS development only to run away screaming in terror because of xCode, Objective-C, or many of the other absurdities that await you down the dark path to the top of the iTunes App Store? If so, come with me as we explore RubyMotion. RubyMotion let’s you write native iOS in Ruby. But what does that mean? What does it look like? Do I still have to use xCode? What about those bizarre function definitions that Objective-C uses? We will look at all of those questions, and more. By the end of this talk you will been presented with a high-level view of RubyMotion, what it is, and what it isn’t. I’ll show you the pros and cons of this potential unicorn of mobile application development. Let’s explore this fascinating new development environment together and find out if it’s worth the price of admission.
