Experimenting with Heroku - RoR

So as I’ve written before I am trying to learn Ruby on Rails and I just wanted to point out a useful free service called Heroku.  As Mike Treon and I have learned Ruby on Rails may in fact be an easy agile web development framework but you definitley have to know what you’re doing when setting it up.

Heroku makes that easy as they have a full stack all set up for you that they call a ‘dyno’ which you can then scale and expand and if your application really gets big they will broker a deployment onto Amazon Webservices for you or since it uses Git to manage source code you can really move your app anywhere if you decide to change hosting or databases.

Anyway, I’ll continue to report on how it goes.
