Introduction

When giving a course based on Ruby on Rails, you will have many students coming from different backgrounds, using different Operating Systems, so you want their experience to be as smooth as possible. Deploying applications to the class server can be a pain in other frameworks, but in Rails, using Capistrano and Bundler, it is actually quite easy. This deploy configuration file for Capistrano intends to be as compatible with different OSs, as easy to use, and as complete as possible.

# How to create a favicon with multiple image sizes and keep alpha transparency

    convert favicon-16.png favicon-32.png favicon-64.png -colors 256 -alpha background favicon.ico
