Back-End

Command interpreter or console

This console works in interactive and non-interactive mode;
In order to start the console, use the following command: ./console.py

Use cases:
	- manage (create, update, destroy, etc) objects via a console / command interprete
	- store and persist objects to a file (JSON file)
	- Commands: create, show, destroy, all (shows all), update, help, quit

Execution

The shell/interpreter works like this in interactive mode:

	$ ./console.py
	(hbnb) help

	Documented commands (type help <topic>):
	========================================
	EOF  help  quit

	(hbnb) 
	(hbnb) 
	(hbnb) quit
	$
But also in non-interactive mode:

	$ echo "help" | ./console.py
	(hbnb)

	Documented commands (type help <topic>):
	========================================
	EOF  help  quit
	(hbnb) 
	$
	$ cat test_help
	help
	$
	$ cat test_help | ./console.py
	(hbnb)

	Documented commands (type help <topic>):
	========================================
	EOF  help  quit
	(hbnb) 
	$

Front-end

Web static

Background Context
Web static, what?
Now that you have a command interpreter for managing our AirBnB objects, it’s time to make them alive!

Before developing a big and complex web application, we will build the front end step-by-step.

The first step is to “design” / “sketch” / “prototype” each element:

- Create simple HTML static pages
- Style guide
- Fake contents
- No Javascript
- No data loaded from anything
During this project, I learnt how to manipulate HTML and CSS languages. HTML is the structure of your page, it should be the first thing to write. CSS is the styling of your page, the design. I really encourage you to fix your HTML part before starting the styling. Indeed, without any structure, you can’t apply any design.

Before starting, please fork or clone the repository AirBnB_clone from your partner if you were not the owner of the previous project.
