Ror application in windows CE

I wonder if there is any possibility to make a Rails application for Windows CE ?

We need to make an application to run on a data collector that has the Win CE. This device will not have network access (offline/batch)

Has anyone ever had to do such a thing ?

  • In my experience Ruby on Rails gives a lot of headache to run in windows, not to mention that Rails is a framework for Web (Creates an HTTP server and works all the rest on top of it). It seems to me that it would be much more sensible to use only Ruby (Without Rails) or some other language with less Windows compatibility issues (I personally prefer to avoid Microsoft languages, so I would use something like Nodejs, but microsoft languages can buy you time).

    Rails is a framework for web applications. It makes no sense to try to use Rails to make an application for Windows CE as much as it would not use ASP.NET or JSF. What you could do is use Rails on the server side as backend of the app that runs on the mobile device.

https://www.nsbasic.com/ce/

Nsbasic-CE creates native code for Wince/Mobile. It uses Basic language similar to VB. Creates CAB file to install on the device. Runs the program locally.

Only for Wince 5.x or Winmobile 5.x/6.x (Wince 6.x has modified kernel)

The site says that this product has been discontinued because they are concentrating on Nsbasic Studio (for IOS, Android, etc.. - Less for Wince) - But if you request Nsbasic-CE they sell.
