We start by deploying a Ruby on Rails application to production. We do that really quickly starting from nothing using all the tools in the box: rails, bundler, git, heroku, and URL forwarding.
Once we have our application in production, we take a deeper look at all the parts that were necessary to make it happen.
If you are just beginning with Ruby on Rails and you want to learn the full development workflow, from zero to production, then you should enjoy this course.

The Philosophy Of The Course
All the lectures are screencasts. This course focuses on the technologies and the practical work that goes into deploying a Rails application to production. The course values exact information and productivity.
We will be using the command line for almost everything. If you are not comfortable using the command line, you might want to read up before you start.
The Computer Setup
I am using Ubuntu to demo everything and I encourage you to use it as well. You can easily run Ubuntu alongside your current OS or from a USB stick. Download Ubuntu 13.10 here.
You could also stick with your current OS: the workflow demonstrated in this course should be very similar on other flavors of Linux or on Mac OS X.
Section 2 will spend a little bit of time talking about Ubuntu and the general computer setup. Feel free to use the course discussions if you have questions or problems.
