Ruby on Rails Screencasts - RailsCasts. Integrating Rails and jQuery Mobile. The mobile web is huge and it's continuing to grow at an impressive rate.
Along with the massive growth of the mobile internet comes a striking diversity of devices and browsers. It's not all WebKit, it's definitely not all iOS, and even when it is WebKit there are a vast array of implementation differences between browser APIs. As a result, making your applications cross-platform and mobile-ready is both important and challenging. jQuery Mobile provides a way to jumpstart development of mobile-friendly applications with semantic markup and the familiarity of jQuery. Rails provides an easy-to-use application environment for serving that markup and managing the data that backs it. In this article, I highlight and then smooth over the rough edges of the integration between these two frameworks.
All the examples and advice in this article are derived from the construction of a sample application that tracks the presence of employees in an office. Learn Web Development with the Ruby on Rails Tutorial. My former company (CD Baby) was one of the first to loudly switch to Ruby on Rails, and then even more loudly switch back to PHP (Google me to read about the drama).
This book by Michael Hartl came so highly recommended that I had to try it, and the Ruby on Rails Tutorial is what I used to switch back to Rails again. Though I’ve worked my way through many Rails books, this is the one that finally made me “get” it. Everything is done very much “the Rails way”—a way that felt very unnatural to me before, but now after doing this book finally feels natural. This is also the only Rails book that does test-driven development the entire time, an approach highly recommended by the experts but which has never been so clearly demonstrated before.
Finally, by including Git, GitHub, and Heroku in the demo examples, the author really gives you a feel for what it’s like to do a real-world project. The linear narrative is such a great format.

Roadmap for Learning Rails. Accelerating Your Learning If you have no prior development experience, one of the worst things you can do when learning Rails is to just dive in.
Some of the concepts build on each other, so jumping in would be like signing up for a calculus class before you’ve learned algebra. Sure, you could muddle through it, but most of your time would be spent trying to figure out why things aren’t working. Another difficulty for a beginner is figuring out what to learn.
