A first full Web Application group project at Holberton School. The goal of the project is to deploy on our server a simple copy of the AirBnB website.

The learning aims of this project is to consolidate our knowledge and skills in Python and OOP, to learn HTML/CSS, database storage, API, front-end integration and networking basics.

This project doesn' implement all the AirBNB features, only some of them to cover all fundamental concepts of the higher level programming track.

• A command interpreter to manipulate data without a visual interface, like in a Shell (perfect for development and debugging). Allows to:
  • create your data model
  • manage (create, update, destroy, etc) objects via a console / command interpreter
  • store and persist objects to a file (JSON file)
• A website (the front-end) that shows the final product to everybody: static and dynamic
  • Static:
    • learn HTML/CSS
    • create the HTML of our application
    • create template of each object
  • Dynamic:
    • learn JQuery
    • load objects from the client side by using your own RESTful API
• A database (MySQL) or files that store data (data = objects)
• An API (RESTful API) that provides a communication interface between the front-end and your data (retrieve, create, delete, update them)
