This is a quick tutorial explaining how to get a static website hosted on Heroku.

Why do this?

Heroku hosts apps on the internet, not static websites. To get it to run your static portfolio, personal blog, etc., you need to trick Heroku into thinking your website is a PHP app. This 6-step tutorial will teach you how.

Rails Workflow

A few simple steps when starting a new Rails project

• rails new <app_name>

• Update Gemfile to include gems for testing

  • e.g. RSpec, FactoryGirl, Capybara

var foo = new Object();
var bar = new Object();
var map = new Object();

map[foo] = "foo";    // --> map["[Object object]"] = "foo";
map[bar] = "bar";    // --> map["[Object object]"] = "bar";
                     // NOTE: second mapping REPLACES first mapping!

alert(map[foo]);     // --> alert(map["[Object object]"]);
                     // and since map["[Object object]"] = "bar",
