Phase 2: All the Things

Ad-hoc, realtime monitoring of a Twitter search using many of the technologies from Dev Bootcamp Phase 2.

• Sinatra/ERB for the web interface
• ActiveRecord for relational-database access (postgres)
• jQuery for Event-binding, DOM Selection/Manipulation, AJAX
• Sidekiq for background jobs

Running

Requirements

• Ruby 1.9.3
• PostgreSQL
• Redis
• Bundler
• Registered Twitter Application http://dev.twitter.com

In on terminal window, run your normal Sinatra workflow:

    $ bundle
    $ shotgun

In 2 other terminals, run:

    $ redis-server

and

    $ bundle exec sidekiq -r./config/environment.rb

To use the Twitter Streaming API, make sure to set CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN and ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET in your environment

TODO

• Styled, more meaningful view code
• Make JavaScript Object-Oriented
• Make classes for some of the hairier bits of code (e.g. option Twitter env)
