From Zero To Deployed In 15 Minutes (Or Less) - Part 1

ChuckNorris and AppHarbor can do some heavy lifting!

Is AppHarbor the answer to Heroku for .NET?! Some believe it's on its way to being just that. This is a showcase of some hardhitting tools to get you from zero to deployed in less than 15 minutes with something that has a database connection and a bit of real functionality.

I didn't even know about WarmuP. That would be a good video on its own. Good series so far, can't wait to see the rest!

@viper99641: This isn't really geared towards a new dev. If we were talking about a class level, I'd bump this up to a level 400 or 500 class. This is achievable by a newer dev, because the tools help guide you into the right path. If you were to copy the steps in this video, you would end up with the same result. You may not fully understand what you did, but at least it's there for you to go back and dissect.

Nice blue sky demo. But, typically a new Dev will need to deal with learning curves and troubleshooting obscure errors. So, timing is more dependent on how familiar the Dev is, than how great this tool is.
