I've been continuing with my One Month Rails project. I really like it so far. I have been working on adding Bootstrap elements and customizing the look of my app so far.
I added a NavBar and fixed up the layout and colors to look nicer.
Looking good! |
And the big achievement today.... I got my app online with Heroku! It's live! I have a few issues I need to fix/understand. Heroku warned me to specify my Ruby version as best practices but there are 2 issues with doing this. First, I have built the app using Ruby 2.1.4 but it says to specify 2.0.0 in the gemfile. If I do this, it messes up RVM and ability to run rails server (doesn't show the rails gem at all).
I also had an issue with my google font not working on Heroku, but a quick search on stackoverflow and I fixed that issue and pushed the update to heroku.
Also... I got the files setup on my computer for the next RailsGirls meetup on Sunday and took a look at the this Git/Github tutorial, although it is very similar to the one in the One Month Rails videos, so it was review, but I'm getting more comfortable with using Git and use it often.
I couldn't stay away.... and I worked on it some more tonight and got the Devise gem installed and I am ready to start generating users to my site tomorrow! Wheee!
I feel like today, I accomplished a lot. :-]
