Chapter 1. What is Rhomobile?

Welcome to the Rhomobile Beginner's Guide. The goal of this book is to teach you how to create your own Mobile application from scratch using Rhomobile. We will learn how to develop a mobile application with Rhomobile by building a sample application from scratch. We will try to have something tangible with running code by the end of every chapter so that you can see a clear progression from chapter to chapter.

Though Rhomobile products are large and part of a fast-moving framework, we'll focus on the smaller, more stable, set of core Rhomobile techniques that have crystallized in the last couple of years. This means that the knowledge you gain here will not become obsolete too quickly. This book is written keeping the Zero to Deployment approach in mind.
