VM, virtual env, heroku

Hi Awesome Site and nice tutorial!

Do we need to use all these virtual environments to follow your tutorial?

I am a newcomer to programming, and have been working with Django, but I have never even considered using virtual environments. So far it has been going well.

Also is this site written in Django?

To answer your last question first, yes, the GSWD site is written in Django. It's fairly basic and I'm sure could have been handled fine by other pieces of software, but it felt wrong to build it in something other than Django.

As for the first bit, no, obviously you don't have to. But they're all very common practice and good things to know about. I consider them all (with a possible exception of VMs) to be best practices for all modern development.

You don't need them if you want to do all of your work on your system, but if you want a VM you can build and throw away at will, you'd need them.

Kenneth, thanks for this project. Just so I understand you, do I still need Virtualbox and Vagrant even if my pc os is Ubuntu Precise?
