Deployment of Sinatra app in "Learn to Code"

[roseaboveit]

There was some trouble a participant had deploying their Sinatra app from the Learn to Code tutorial to Heroku.

This was the page that the participant was on: http://docs.railsbridge.org/learn-to-code/sinatra

This is where they were directed to at the bottom of the page: http://docs.railsbridge.org/installfest/deploy_a_rails_app

If we want them to deploy to heroku we should probably make sure that the learn-to-code page sets them up with all the necessary pieces to deploy their sinatra app and we should have a page that describes how to deploy a sinatra app as distinct from how to deploy a rails app.

It seems like the intent behind this was deployment as a very optional step. I think we should mark it more explicitly as very optional for now, until someone writes those instructions for deploying a Sinatra app.

@alexch, when you teach this curriculum, do you get to this step, and do you usually go into it, or leave it as an exercise for the reader?
