I'm new to RoR and going through the tutorials trying to learn as much as possible. I have actually two questions:
1. What is a proper way to deploy an app into the PROD environment? Here is what I'm trying to avoid: when writing/testing application (ie. new user signs ups) on my local machine, I don't want these users to be deployed into the PROD environment along side.
That will not happen because users you add when running in development mode will go into the development database on your local PC. When you have deployed, the database is the production db on the server, which will initially be empty.
2. I'm going through http://ruby.railstutorial.org and when I finish-- what should I pursue next?
That depends on what your aim is.
