iPhone on Rails: The Presentation
Last night’s presentation went pretty well. I gave a fairly high level (except for the XCode part) overview of developing web and native apps for the iPhone. I hope to spruce this one up based on the questions asked during the talk last night and give it again some place else. Anyway, slides are below.

Sweet, thanks for posting these. I hope Hao uploads video sometime, too.

Thanks for the informative talk and code review tips. I either forgot about the send method or it was totally new to me. I take it that calls a symbolic reference to the passed method? The other trick you showed was a dispatch table, right? I couldn’t understand the other stuff you showed Matt, and I can’t remember the particulars now :) I haven’t gotten to editing the footage yet—will let you know as soon as I’ve uploaded them. Unfortunately, I ran out of tape before Matt Mazur’s talk.

Send is best. I regretted the dispatch hash right after I brought it up (maybe SICP is having some ill-effects). Here's a gist with the idea: http://gist.github.com/34861

Mat, I don't think the dispatch hash is really bad, it's just not idiomatic ruby. If you were playing in scheme land, it's the best way to do things. Hao, thank you for taping the talk. I'll link to the video from here once it's up.
