The tools:

1. Local shell, LogMeIn or an ssh shell to a terminal system on your phone/tablet
2. a system with git and heroku (I haven't tried installing these on my phone)
3. Internet
4. DropBox and DropText for easy mobile editing. Alternatively you could use github as a web editing/auto-commiting platform

The commands

Begin in your DropBox project hidey hole directory.

Part 1

Intermission, theRubyRacer

For Heroku we'll need to add pg and theRubyRacer gem. We only need them for production (can use conditional requires), but this will work.

Part 2

That's it, the app is live at. You can see it here: http://phoneHome.heroku.com/links.

Lessons learned:

• LogMeIn over Simons mall wifi is painful. Stopping at the Apple store helped figure out some issues (I forgot rubyracer initially).
• DropText helped edit files. Remember to add editable file types with no extension like Gemfile.
• iPhones can deploy web servers. But it's still far from ideal. I could use a wonderful shell app for ssh terminaling home. I should be able to find one without too much trouble.
