23. Live Demo

24. Deploying your Application to AppHarbor

25.  Getting your code to AppHarbor  Through Git  AppHarbor provides Repository URL  Use Git to push to that URL  Other source-control systems – commit to some integrated with AppHarbor repository  Through Bitbucket, Codeplex, GitHub  Have integration with AppHarbor  Can push code to AppHarbor’s repository 25

26.  AppHarbor “requirements”  Submit a.NET Solution with  All project files  All code files, libraries, etc.  All other resources  Solution must be a web application  If there is more than ONE solution file  AppHarbor compiles the one named “AppHarbor.sln” 26

27.  First deployment to AppHarbor with Git  Initialize a repository where your solution is  Add the relevant files to be committed  Commit to local repository  Create a remote to AppHarbor repository (get the URL from your application’s “dashboard”)  Push to the remote you created for AppHarbor  …and that’s everything! 27

28.  Next deployments to AppHarbor  Add the relevant files to be committed  Either all the files from before or only the ones you modified  Commit to local repository  Repository was created in the “First deployment”  Push to the remote for AppHarbor  We created this the first time too  Your application dashboard now has a history! 28

29. Live Demo

30. Customizing and Enriching Your Application

31.  Configuration variables  Key-value pairs  Local to an application  Used to change the behaviour of your application on AppHarbor  f.e. a variable telling your application if it is on AppHarbor or not  Added by user  Added by add-ons 31

32.  Adding a configuration variable in AppHarbor  Go to application dashboard >> Configuration variables >> Create new variable  Accessing configuration variables  In your application config file <appSettings> </appSettings> 32

33. Live Demo

34.  Add-ons  Allow you to consume cloud resources  Added from add-on catalogue  Each application has its independent add-ons  Each add-on has a “control page”  Usually in the form of “Go to [add-on name]”  Use configuration variables for interaction with your application 34

35.  Shared SQL Server  Provides a SQL Database  Gives you a server URI, username and password  Gives you a connection string  Configuration variable with alias  Free – 20 MB  10$/month – 10 GB 35

36. Live Demo

37.  Mailgun  Provides e-mail services  Analysis and statistics tools  SMTP, POP3, IMAP  Has a C# API  Gives you hostname, login, password  Through configuration variables  Free – 200 messages/day, temp storage  19$/month – 50000 messages/month, 20GB 37

38. Live Demo

42. 1. Create an account in AppHarbor. See the “Support” and “Add-ons” sections of AppHarbor. 2. Create an ASP.NET application which prints the message “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”. Use GitBash to deploy that application in AppHarbor. Then change the message and deploy the application again. 3. Create an ASP.NET application with a single button and a text box. When the button is pressed, the application should print some text in the text box, indicating whether it is started locally or in AppHarbor. Use configuration variables. Use GitBash to deploy that application in AppHarbor.

43. 4. Create an ASP.NET “Online Restaurant” application which displays a restaurant menu. Each item in the menu has a name, ingredients and a price. The menu should be visible to everyone. There should be administrators, which authenticate with a username and password and can add items to the menu. Deploy the application to AppHarbor 5. Edit the “Online Restaurant” application from exercise 4 so that it can be switched off from AppHarbor (i.e. display only a message, saying “The restaurant is on a holiday”). Hint: use configuration variables

44. 6. Edit the “Online Restaurant” application, so that items from the menu can be ordered (purchased). When a user orders an item he should enter his name, address and e-mail address. After that, an e-mail which notifies the user he successfully made an order should be sent (the e- mail should mention the user’s order, name and address). The administrators should be able to download a text file with all of the information for all of the orders (item ordered, user name, address, e-mail). 7. Provide a text file with the AppHarbor URLs of the applications from these exercises.
