Course description
In this course we will start creating a full featured web application using the Ruby on Rails framework, and in order to accomplish this we will be leveraging a number of tools in addition to Rails, such as RSpec for automated testing, Heroku for easily deploying to the Internet, and then GitHub for our version control management system. This section will conclude with us creating the app and pushing the code to a centralized Github repository, along with learning how to use the Unix terminal commands.
