My son said the same thing. I guess my concern was getting all the way to the deployment stage only to realize there was something I should have been doing differently way too late in the game... (I'm probably being paranoid!) Anyhow, so you recommend that I press with the development and NOT worry about deploying (to Heroko -- or whatever) until much later... I can live with that! (Just run the rails server and connect with browser at port 3000... right?

Honestly, yeah.. deploying to Heroku is ridiculously simple for simple apps, and from the sounds of it I would expect that you don't have a hundred moving pieces in it yet (and may never). Deploying to something else, like AWS, is more involved but still it's most likely not going to be much different in the end than it is in the beginning.
