The customer is an internet entrepreneur in Japan. He approached us late 2006, and had been working with us until recession hits Japan in early 2009.

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. I dont know if this is a good decision since now there'll be Rails 3.x
• 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 screenshot-ing the Rails application
