First Sinatra App - to be deployed on Heroku
This is the outline for a Sinatra app you're going to use to create a live website by the end of the day.
First things first, create an app on Heroku which we will deploy our website to.
- Create an account at Heroku.
- If you haven't done so already install the Heroku toolbelt, and login from the command line by typing
heroku auth:login
- You need to authenticate with Heroku in order to deploy, follow these instructions
- Make sure in your terminal you're in the first-sinatra-app directory, then create a Heroku app by typing
heroku create
- Push your app to heroku by typing
git push heroku master
- Go online to your heroku account online and find the url from where you can view your app
NOTES
- If you're stuck, use google, stack overflow (if you don't have an account yet create one now!), the sinatra documentation or books like this one (completely available online)
- Once you've done getting something simple online, try adding an HTML template
- Add css/images and put it into your public directory
