This project was inspired by problem assignment 7 of the
6.005 MIT course (2011 version).
It does not follow carefully the steps described in the Instructions.pdf
document, but its aim is to build something
very similar to that proposed in the assignment, albeit with a different language, libraries and even added
features. In particular, Python and Django were used to build this assignment's project.
I chose not to pick the technologies recommended in the assignment because as of 2017 Java Swing is a bit outdated, and even because I was more interested in developing with Python than with another language.
To run this project no knowledge of Django or of other frameworks is required. To do it locate the manage.py
file and
type in on a console (or on a run configuration) python manage.py runserver
. The initial output should
display the port at which the Web server is listening.
