by Joe Masilotti
4.5 / 5.0 Goodreads Rating
"Hotwire Native for Rails Developers" by Joe Masilotti teaches Rails developers how to build native iOS and Android apps using their existing Rails skills, eliminating the need to rewrite everything in Swift or Kotlin. Through building a hiking tracker app, the book shows how to use Hotwire Native to create truly native mobile experiences while keeping business logic centralized in Rails. Readers learn to progressively add native components, handle device features like push notifications, and deploy across web, iOS, and Android from a single codebase. This approach significantly reduces development time and maintenance overhead compared to traditional native app development.
