This project is based on the sample application for One Month Rails: Teach Yourself to Code
I am extending instructor Mattan Griffel's work by adding event notifications delivered by email. This will help other One Month Rails students add email delivery to their projects.
Fellow OMR students: Does your app need to send email? Most do, and I'll show you how. This project will demo how to send mail reliably from the cloud.
SendGrid is a developer-friendly email delivery service. Since virtually every mature web application sends email (e.g. password reset confirmations, purchase notifications, etc.) I will extend Mattan's OMR project to include email notifications which will be delivered for free via SendGrid.
Take my beta app for a spin on Heroku: http://quiet-woodland-8878.herokuapp.com/
