Writing SproutCore Apps with a Rails Backend
Lawrence Pit has written a great tutorial on building a SproutCore application and hooking it to a Rails backend. This is by far one of the most common requests for new SproutCore developers and I’m really glad Lawrence has taken the time to share his knowledge. Thanks Lawrence!

PS. Lawrence mentions that SproutCore’s built-in REST API is not well developed and he is generally right. The current Server class in SproutCore was written before ActiveResource, GData or many other solid REST implementations were around. It will be updated before SproutCore 1.0 but the current version will work just great as long as you adopt the semi-REST SproutCore model as Lawrence describes.
