You can choose on which operating system to build, as well as for which smartphone to develop your application, giving you the freedom to create a customized mobile application quickly and easily.Once you have learned how to install Rhomobile on Windows, Mac, or Linux, you will create a simple application, which will be used to explore the products of Rhomobile one by one. Things really get going when you write unit test cases for your application before deploying it to the server and making builds for your chosen Smartphone. You will learn about the different aspects of Rhomobile, starting with Rhodes 3, which helps you to build a native mobile application.

    git clone [email protected]:nalwayaabhishek/employee-application-rhodes.git 
    

    Note

    Please do not copy the same code. As your Git repository will have a different Git URL.

    This creates a new directory employee-application-rhodes containing a clone of the RhoHub employee Rhodes application repository. You will get the following output:

    >>$ git clone [email protected]:nalwayaabhishek/employee-application-rhodes.git
    Cloning into employee-application-rhodes...

    warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository

    As we have an empty directory, it will clone an empty directory with the name employee-application...
