Job Tracker

An app by Derrick and Sarah Showers.

Installation and configuration

There are a couple of quick steps to get this running on your machine (assumiung, of course, you're running OS X or certain flavors of Linux - sorry Windows peeps).

1. Some Initial Setup (make sure you have Homebrew installed)

    $ brew install python
    $ brew install python3
    $ pip install virtualenv
    $ cd <whatever-you-want-to-put-this-thang>
    $ virtualenv job-tracker --no-site-packages -p /usr/local/bin/python3.4
    $ cd job-tracker
    $ git clone git@github.com:derrickshowers/job-tracker.git 
   

2. Active vitual env

    $ . bin/activate
   

3. Install dependencies

    $ cd job-tracker
    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Start server

    $ python manage.py runserver
   

5. Navigate to http://localhost:8000/.

When finished, you probably want to type deactivate to exit the virtual envrionment

Structure

Most of the front end code lives in one of two places:

1. Markup: jobtracker/templates. Everything is broken up into 'app' specific directories. Django likes to split everything up into apps, for each module of the project. For instance, all markup related to the 'jobs' module is in jobtracker/templates/jobs. There is also a common directory for any base or reused markup.

2. Static Assets: All CSS, JS, and images are in jobtracker/static. If you need to include a new static file on any HTML page, put {% load staticfiles %} at the top of the page, and then something like {% static 'css/my-css-file.css' %} wherever it needs to go in the markup.
