The first tutorial lesson is basically a presentation of getting the environment and tools working, introduction to git and heroku and doing a rails deployment. He doesn't do anything with hello world or attempt to hook anything else up in that section (at least not in the pdf and I don't remember anything in the video)....
In the second section he starts doing some trivial db stuff and continues the deployment to heroku and revision control on github. But no real hookup yet other than manually navigating to the pages... In the next section he starts putting more of it together, some static html, some TDD, some actions and other fun things... I'm just finishing that part of it now and moving to the next.. Hope this helps.... good luck!

I've learned things about git, Github and Heroku, but if you ask me where can I upload my simple one-liner manually via FTP to make it run - I still can't tell you :( I can put a PHP file with <?php Print "Hello World!"; ?> in it to the public_html folder - works. Where to put which file to make it work with Ruby - still no clue. Still, knowing where the "Welcome aboard" page is, I'll take a look at ERB and if I can put anything Ruby-ish <% here %>, it'll already be a success... until we get to the part where I'd want Ruby to communicate with a database. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
