  17. Other “cloud” or “utility computing” vendors … (not necessary applicable for Rails Apps)

  18. Demo ( going to build a a Rails app from scratch and deploy on EC2; hopefully iterate a couple times and deploy new features )

  19. Prequisites I’m already set up with: • EC2 Command Line Tools • (w/ public/private keys configured) • Ruby 1.8.6 • Rails 2.2.2 (latest is 2.3.2) • Capistrano 2.5.5 • SVN/Git

  20. GO! Home Viewers can pull down code that was developed: svn co http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/zabada_public/codecampbook (see README for quick and dirty steps to deploy on EC2)

  21. RAILS RESOURCES http://rubyonrails.org/ http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ http://railsenvy.com/ (Weekly Podcast) http://railscasts.com/ (Screencasts) http://modrails.com/(easy & robust Rails deployment; not currently used in EC2onRails)
