This is a simple office presence application that allows users to notify office mates of their intended absence from the office for a given day. The focus is on highlighting integration points between Rails and jQM like form validation refreshes and using AMD in the asset pipeline.

There are two ways to set up this application for development. The easiest is with Vagrant if you already have it installed.

git clone github.com/repo/url.git
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
cd /vagrant
rails server

At which point your app can be viewed at http://33.33.33.10:3000 from the host machine or on the network at http://$NETWORK_IP:4567.

The second is to setup all the rails dependencies locally. If you happen to be running linux you can use the script/provision.sh file to install the package dependencies (except ruby) including node.

cd $PROJECT_DIR
bash script/provision.sh

On other operating systems the development dependencies are left to the reader.

The model and controllers for the user authentication are borrowed from the show notes/code samples of Railscast 270 for the sake of time savings. Thanks Ryan!
