Ask HN: How can a college student quickly launch a mobile startup?
I'm looking for guidance from the community on building the backend for an android app. Do you know of any thorough books/tutorials that include code examples of how to build a Web Service that would be used as the back-end of an Android app? I would be particularly interested code advice about security and crud functionality. You have a few options. 1. Phonegap. 2. UIWebView for iOS and android.webkit.WebView for Android. 3. Sencha. etc... It shouldn't take that long to do this. I have a website built with ruby on rails which I was hoping could be converted to a webservice. I would really like to use Ruby on Rails so that the website can be used as an html front end and webserive simultaneously (if this is good practice). I'll take a look a phonegap. That name seems to be popping up a lot in google searches. -
