Basics of the Web

Think of it like

Mail, Fedex, FAX, email, carrier pigeon….

You send a letter

Someone receives it

Sends you a response

5

Old School

Setup a server somewhere

Pay money to host it

Configure the software

Spend days troubleshooting the configuration

Pay someone to maintain it

Figure out how to deploy

Write code and finally build your site

Looks great, but what’s the catch?• OpenShift is free-as-in-beer & free-as-in-freedom

• Three gears – 1.5 gig RAM, 3 gig Disk (always free)

• Need more resources, just ask!

• The Catch is we are in developer preview right now
