KCDC 2014 Session Proposal

Learning Rails for Fun and Nonprofit

There are a lot of nonprofits that need help building websites. While wordpress may suffice for many of these organizations, some have requirements that are better suited to an actual website. With free tools like Heroku and other database/logging services, quickly building a website that meets a nonprofit’s needs is very approachable. This is the perfect type project for learning Ruby on Rails.

In this session, Scott will talk about the benefits of using a Nonprofit web project to learn Rails and what he learned while building LoveKC.org.

Not sure if this is about Rails or about building solutions for non-profits.

I'm a dev picking sessions, is this going to give me an intro to Rails?

Just not sure who the audience is.

Heroku is going to get rid of their free plan. FYI.
