I'm not sure if this is a perfect idea. I understand where you're coming from- but personally, if I sat through a lecture on a library and I wasn't shown how it deployed until the end, I would be constantly wondering and trying to figure out how it all works together until the lecturer finally shows it at the end. I'd wind up distracting myself from the more important content at hand. I think showing that it is as simple as hitting Build on whatever development setup you have going is a good thing to show at the start. Say that for now, it just sends the code to the router and compiles it or what have you, and that you'll address it more in-depth later.

Just my $0.02 as a student in the middle of many years of lectures.
