A web application built with Ruby on Rails and deploys to Heroku

Ruby on Rails Tutorial -- "hello, world!"

This purpose of this project was to develop a web application with Ruby on Rails and deploy it to a hosted platform (Heroku).

This is the first application for the Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl.

This is a project from The Odin Project.

Pre-Project Thoughts

Note: At this point I only have basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Chrome Dev Tools, and Git skills. I will do my best!

Post-Project Thoughts

I created a functional (if minimal) web application. One thing the page is definitely missing is a more appealing landing page. More features can be added. I will learn how later on in the curriculum.

Skills I demonstrated or strengthened at project end:
-Generated a new application using rails new and ran a local server using rails server both on a command-line terminal
-Added a controller action and modified the root route to create a "hello, world" application
-Protected against data loss while enabling collaboration by placing application source code under version control with Git and pushing code to GitHub
-Deployed application to a production environment using Heroku
