Project Links: v0.0 v0.5 v0.75 Final

This was an iterative and collaborative project which spanned multiple repositories and contributors.

The goal of the project was to deploy a recreation of the AirBnB website.

• A command interpreter to manipulate data without a visual interface, like in a Shell (perfect for development and debugging)
• A website (the front-end) that shows the final product to everybody: static and dynamic
• A database or files that store data (data = objects)
• An API that provides a communication interface between the front-end and your data (retrieve, create, delete, update them)

Final product #

The console #

• create your data model
• manage (create, update, destroy, etc) objects via a console / command interpreter
• store and persist objects to a file (JSON file)

Web static #

• learn HTML/CSS
• create the HTML of your application
• create template of each object

MySQL storage #

• replace the file storage by a Database storage
• map your models to a table in database by using an O.R.M.

Web framework - templating #

• create your first web server in Python
• make your static HTML file dynamic by using objects stored in a file or database

RESTful API #

• expose all your objects stored via a JSON web interface
• manipulate your objects via a RESTful API

Web dynamic #

• learn JQuery
• load objects from the client side by using your own RESTful API
