# Hi! I love Sinatra. I also love clear, concise, readable, testable code, as well as rapid development. So I put together this boilerplate for Sinatra, packed with all my favorite goodies - and it's still much, much lighter than Rails. Plus - It's designed in MVC fashion and ready to deploy on Heroku. Smoke on that.

goodie bag:

goods	what's it for
sinatra	the framework
bootstrap	the front-end framework
font awesome	fun icons
postgresql	production database engine
sqlite3	development/testing database engine
activerecord	the ORM
sinatra-activerecord	ports activerecord for sinatra
tux	provides a Shell for interaction with the app
rerun	auto-reloads sinatra after each change
haml	lightweight markup language
rspec	unit testing
sinatra-flash	'flash'ing messages

###1) Download and run:

$ git clone git@github.com:mjhea0/singing-sinatra.git
$ cd singing-sinatra
$ bundle install              
$ rerun ruby app.rb

Then fire up http://localhost:4567/

###2) Code / Test / Refactor

###3) Version control

$ git init
$ git add *
$ git commit -m "initial commit"

###4) Deploy

• Create an account on Heroku. (if needed)
• Install the gem - sudo gem install heroku (if needed)
• Generate an SSH key. (if needed)
• Push to Heroku:

$ heroku create <my-app-name>
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku rake db:migrate

Put that in your pipe.
