Sample App Overview

The sample app for this chapter is Message Board, including a Ruby on Rails server and an iOS app.

The Ruby on Rails server consists of just one object: the message. It has been set up to support sending a list of messages in JSON, and to accept new messages in JSON format. The server also supports Web-based interactions.

The iOS app will pull messages from the server and display them in a standard table view and will be able to post new messages to the server in JSON format.
