Rhomobile Book

Finally My Book on Rhomobile has been publish with pactpub.

Now Its time to say Thanks.


I would like to express my gratitude to my family and friends especially Akshat Paul, Manu Singhal, and Anuj Bhargava who saw me through this book, who provided support, talked things over, read, wrote, offered comments, without which conceiving this book wouldn't have been possible.

Also, I would like to thank Sarah, Neha, Kartikey, Shubhanjan, and the PacktPub team who allowed me to quote their remarks and assisted in the editing, proofreading, and design. Writing a book was not my cup of tea but they made this complicated journey effortless.


Also I want to say big thanks to Reviewers:

    I love book. I know you just published the book, but are you going to continue to update the examples as Rhodes advances?

    Thanks!! Yes current example in book are with Jqtouch and basic. The Rhomobile Beginner's Guide is for those you are totally new to Rhomobile and the publisher has insist me to write Rhodes example which will simple to understand and cover all the concepts.
    I am planing to write few complex example like Facebook Oauth integration with Rhodes\Using Ajax with Rhodes etc in future on my blog. If you want any specific topic example you can suggest me on this blog, I will try to blog these topics.

    Hi Abhishek, In the Rhom chapter. When I put the @companies = Company.find(:all). When I click New to add the new employees I am getting undefined screen. Also you haven't told it clear about where we have to put the code in new.erb and edit.erb with your code. in page 70. Please look into it.

    Thanks,

    Uday

    Thanks for the earlier reply. I have a question regarding some code on pg 109. In the employee_controller.rb search method you have the following line of code: @response['headers']['Wait-Page'] = 'true'
    Well with that code my application fails to render the search.erb view. With that line of code commented out, my application continues normally. What is the purpose of that line?

    You are getting undefined screen because I think you are using latest Rhodes with Jquery Mobile but in the book example I have used Jqtouch. So You can change the div tags according to Jquery Mobile. The logic is same but only the difference is there in divs
    If you are directly using the code which you got with my book then it will definitely work.

    @greeneggs614 @response['headers']['Wait-Page'] = 'true' enable an animated transition. The response header tells the user interface that an AsyncHttp request has been spawned and that the rendered view should be treated as a transient page, it will not be added to the navigation history.
    You can also refer http://docs.rhomobile.com/rhodes/connect-to-web-services#asynchttp-and-animated-transitions

    Thanks for the response. Very cool of you to follow up. I've been meaning to follow up with you on this but the holidays got the best of me. Anyhow, I understand what you wrote and I understand the docs, but the odd thing is that the application only continues when I comment out that line of code. Yes, I did include ApplicationHelper at the top of the Controller. Even the part where "it will not be added to navigation history" works WITHOUT that line of code. Don't know what to think of this one. I am using rhodes 3.2.3 did something change in the later versions.
