Several people had not only fired up EC2 instances, they had Rails running and were poking around a sample app &#8211; and going from nothing to app took about 10 minutes. Amazing. Tweets like this make it all worth it:<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px;\" alt=\"Picture 1.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highedwebtech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/Picture-111.png\" border=\"0\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p>Couldn&#8217;t make it to Essex last week?
