== Oh My Der Die Das

This is an example of a RAILS3 mobile app that helps users learn German noun genders.

It is a multi-user site. Each user can create word lists and be trained on those word lists.

When playing the game the entire word list is loaded to the client device but as the game is progressed the scores for each word are synchronized with the server so that next load the game state is preserved.

Notable technologies used in the site are

devise              -   authentication
cancan              -   authorization
jquery mobile ui    -   mobile ui widgets

coffeescript        -   makes javascript pleasant to write in
jammit              -   asset packaging and compression
heroku              -   deployment
