I think these are really important topics to cover. I would like a course where I may learn more about them. Maybe an admin section for the shirts store? Where Mike might add/remove products, etc.

20,810 PointsYou know, that might be a good idea, since I am a bit reticent to use Ruby considering that I do not want to rely on just one service (i.e. Heroku) to deploy a site/service that I am going to want to develop long term. Call me paranoid if you must, but the fact that we need the Archive Team to save dying web services screams volumes to knowing how to control your own web presence.

20,810 PointsAny suggestions as to what I should do to deploy instead of what they suggest? If at all possible, I would like to avoid Heroku.
