So what is motion-provisioning, anyway? It is a RubyMotion gem that helps you, the developer, take your in-progress app(s) and get them running on your own device(s). This is one of THE major challenges faced by beginning iOS developers, and the motion-provisioning gem makes it as simple as 1,2,3.
When you use the motion create command of RubyMotion, the default behavior is to create a project that builds an iOS application. But that is only one of many project templates which are available for you to use.
As with most programming languages, the best way to start is with a quick “Hello World” example, to make certain you have all the basics in place. Let’s see how that’s done in RubyMotion.
Ok, I promised I’d get back to the odd dichotomy of technology companies that only hire people with higher education degrees and the ones that never hire those people…
I’m trying to work my head around some of the issues we have with the gaping hole we are looking at, in trained software development professionals.
While I was reconstructing the speaking section of my web site (post-move to Jekyll), I discovered I have a whole page of presentations at Confreaks. Wild. That’s not all of my conference talks by any means, but it’s a lot of them.
Letting go is hard. But there comes a time when you know it’s the right thing to do. So with a heavy heart, I am stepping down as Chapter Lead for Ladies Learning Code in Lethbridge.
This is the second post about the move of my website from a hosted site on Squarespace to a self-hosted Jekyll site. You can find my first post here.
Ok, if you are just joining us, this is Part 2 of the IGListKit Tutorial, RubyMotion edition. You should start with Part 1, if you are interested in the mechanics of the Swift -> RubyMotion translation of the starter app. And you really, really should read the source tutorial for IGListKit before you start, because I’m skipping over the boring parts where I can.
