Course Summary
Deploying a web app to a production server involves steps that you're going to need to repeat every time you release a new version, such as pulling the changes from Git and restarting your web server.

So in this course, we're going to show you how to automate deploys to make them fast, easy, and safe. We'll be using the Ruby community's most popular deployment framework, Capistrano.
