November DCRUG - Mobilize Your Rails Applications November 6, 2008

Mobilizing Your Rails Application is an introduction to bringing your Rails application into the mobile space. There are many ways to effectively take advantage of mobile technology that can help us build better Rails applications tailored to portable devices. This talk will go over why you should care about mobile and give you an overview of various tools that you can use to get the job done.
