Screencast: Using background workers on AppHarbor

This screencast walks you through creating an application suitable for deployement to AppHarbor background workers. The application fetches the newest tweets about "appharbor" with LinqToTwitter and stores the tweets in RavenDB using the RavenHQ add-on.

The screencast also shows how to avoid committing binaries to source control by downloading dependencies using NuGet during build and demonstrates setting up a git repository up for deploying to AppHarbor.
