1,935 PointsTreebook - Cloud9?
Hey!
I'm a little confused about the Treebook course. First we learn how to do it throug cloud9, but then suddenly the apperance of the workspace in the video changes, and it looks like it's getting run locally?

Courses Plus Student 3,528 Pointswhat is the video where the cloud 9 install was described? I saw it the other day and it was just excellent, it just seems like I cannot find it anymore?

1,935 PointsMy only problem is - that it for some reason won't work on my Windows machine. I'll manage to start the rails server - but I can't access 0.0.0.0:3000 or any other site...And I really liked the way Cloud9 looked! Oh well. I just need to fiddle a bit more with my windows then I guess.

Attention Windows Users
You should access port 3000 with the following address 127.0.0.1:3000 rather than 0.0.0.0:3000.
