Book description
A complete guide to building and deploying web apps with Heroku
A cloud application platform, Heroku is currently the only approved
platform for creating apps within Facebook, and its number of users is
growing at rapid pace. However, there are very few books on the market

The author duo begins with an introduction to the Heroku platform and
its associated core concepts and then goes on to explain how writing
for this platform differs from that of traditional development
systems. Example applications, additional resources, and advice for
your next steps round out this resource, making it a thorough,
indispensable guide.
