Steps

== INITIALIZATION ==
$ rails new [project_name]
$ cd [project_name]
$ rvm gemset create [project_namegemset]
$ tm .rvmrc
# Add:
# rvm use [ruby-]2.0.0 (or whatever version you are using)
# rvm gemset use [project_namegemset]
Edit Gemfile
$ bundle update
$ bundle install --without production
Edit .gitignore
$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
Create on Github the repo
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:<username>/demo_app.git
$ git push -u origin master

== MODELING ==
$ rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string
  # Example of rails scaffolding a table called User with primary key 'id'; 'name' as column, type string and 'email' as
  # column, type string also
$ bundle exec rake db:migrate
  # To proceed with the demo application, we first need to migrate the database using Rake.
  # This simply updates the database with the new models
  # Note that, in order to ensure that the command uses the version of Rake corresponding to our Gemfile,
  # we need to run rake using bundle exec.
Modify the relations between tables/models


== DEPLOY ==
$ heroku create --stack cedar
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku run rake db:migrate
