Agile software development is based on iterative and incremental development and is becoming a mainstay method in all different industries and verticals due to its promise of accelerated productivity. Drawing on core agile principles, Heroku, a cloud application platform backed by the trust of the Salesforce Platform, is built to support continuous iterative application development and deployment and works extremely well with the agile approach. In this session, seasoned Heroku partner thoughtbot will demonstrate best practices for building and scaling your own apps on Heroku. While Heroku's polyglot platform supports a number of languages, this session will focus on Ruby on Rails in its examples and use cases. thoughtbot is a 50-person consultancy with offices in Boston, San Francisco, Stockholm, and Boulder. They are user experience, Ruby on Rails, and iOS experts. Watch this webinar to: Learn the basics of agile app development See how to deploy an app to Heroku Scale and app on Heroku Explore real world examples and Heroku developer value
