Web application deployment has always been the phase of software development that web developers tend to dread, even though it’s something that shouldn’t be.
but why is that…
because an app that could be working perfectly fine on your local machine, when put a server suddenly decides to go through their teen rebellion phase and become stubborn and then stops being that little lovely app that was perfect on your local machine, and you find yourself dealing with issues like static assets management, database configuration and don’t even get me started on your media asset management.
Well all that ends now…(at least i hope it does), as we will be going through a step by step process in which we will build an app that you could reuse anytime you want to deploy your django application on heroku. …

I'll show you how to integrate Prettier into my favorite text editor, Sublime Text.
Step 1: Install Prettier

Don’t judge but this is first write up. I have never pictured myself as the writing or sharing type, heck I don’t even know what am going to write just hoping to go with the flow. Today been the 7th day of October 2017 will always a memorable day for me, why you ask, well that’s because I attended my first meetup today (and by meetup here I mean a developers meetup). When I got the information about the forloopPH meetup I was pumped up, for like 5 minutes, why? Because some part of me knew that this was something i needed to excel in my career as a programmer. But why did the excitedness (not sure if that is a real word) last for only about 5 minutes?
