Do you have what it takes to meet the challenge? We’ll make it worth it.

You may have noticed at the end of my last post I threw down the community challenge to get from zero to deployed faster than me.

The Challenge

My time was 13:48 to be from zero to deployed. Beat my time and show it in a video response. The person with the best time by March 15th @ 11:59PM CST will receive a prize.

Here are the links to the videos:

The Rules

Let’s revisit those ground rules before I tell you what the prizes will be:

Deployed with AppHarbor or an alternative
A timer displayed in the video that runs during the entire process
