VertNet webapp

This repo contains code for the VertNet webapp.

Developing

On the server side, VertNet rides on Google App Engine Python 2.7 runtime, so we need to download and install the latest Python SDK. Add it to your PATH and you are good to go. On the client side it rides on Twitter Bootstrap and RequireJS for pure HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS.

Getting started

Make sure you have Git installed, and then from the command line:

$ git clone git@github.com:VertNet/webapp.git

That will download the full code repository into a directory named webapp.

Since the webapp rides on Google App Engine, we can use the local development server. First we'll need some test data. Go into thewebapp directory, download this file, and unzip it. Then at the command line:

$ dev_appserver.py --storage_path=data app.yaml

Boom! The webapp is now running locally at http://localhost:8080 and you get an admin console at http://localhost:8080/_ah/admin.
