In the process, you will learn about the underlying mechanics of web hosting. You will also learn how to configure your app, from accessing log output to configuring environment variables.
You should have experience with Git, GitHub, and using the command line. Experience with at least one object-oriented language like Ruby or Python is also expected. Knowledge of micro-frameworks like Sinatra or Flask is recommended, but not required.
