Technical Specification
Description
The customer is an internet entrepreneur in Japan. He built mobile applications to sell to his customers, with Ruby on the backend, and Flashlite on the frontend. We helped him on both ends, Ruby and Flashlite. What's interesting, Ruby on Rails-wise:
- We worked with other teams across the world (Eastern Europe, Latin America) that the client also hired besides us.
- We port over the older version in Ruby on Rails to Merb.
- Processing incoming emails that are received on the server via a Ruby script
- An emphasis on writing good and thorough Rspec
- Multi-language capability using gettext, and later moved to gibberish.
- The client even asks our developer to write Applescripts for screenshoting the Rails application
On the last update we got from the client himself, he let us know that his company already acquired by the biggest social networking company in Japan. We're more than happy to hear him succeeded :)
Business Issue.
The client want to create paid game for mobile phone. The game has to run on most feature phone.
Business Solution.
We create games using Flashlite, it's supported by most phone at that time. While to optimize phone memory usage, most processing are done in the Ruby backed server.
Benefits.
The game and company gain popularity. Our client get investment from the biggest social networking company in Japan.
Lesson Learned.
Learned development using Merb, gettext, and Applescript.
