Pi+RoR+Heroku Demo

Background

Over the course of the past two school years, my colleague Rob Biedenharn and I have been working with Tom Brinkmann's students at Little Miami High School, attempting to teach them Web development using Ruby on Rails to aid in their participation in Business Professionals of America competitions and to provide them with skills very much in demand locally.

We provided the students all the usual links to facilitate self-guided learning on Windows PCs but it quickly became evident that we were facing two challenges:

	# frozen_string_literal: true
	def get_input(prompt = '--> ')
	puts ''
	puts 'Please enter a number, odd or even.'
	print prompt
	# if the end-of-input was reached and gets returned a nil
	# or the word 'exit' or 'quit' appears (ignoring case) in the input
	if (input = gets).nil? \|\| /exit\|quit/i =~ input
	nil # just return a nil
	else

	module Beer
	class Song
	VERSE_TEMPLATE = "%d bottles of beer on the wall, %d bottles of beer.\n" +
	"Take one down and pass it around, %d bottle%s of beer on the wall.\n"
	PENULTIMATE_VERSE = "1 bottle of beer on the wall, 1 bottle of beer.\n" +
	"Take it down and pass it around, no more bottles of beer on the wall.\n"
	FINAL_VERSE = "No more bottles of beer on the wall, no more bottles of beer.\n" +
	"Go to the store and buy some more, 99 bottles of beer on the wall.\n"

	def verses(starting, ending=0)
