My personal website, written in Python and JavaScript and deployed on OpenShift.

This repo also serves as a living example of what I think a reasonable modern web project might look like, represented by the stack I am partial towards and most experienced with.

This website is powered by:

• Django
• Backbone.js
• Underscore.js
• jQuery
• Require.js
• Swig
• Sass

And tested using:

• Jasmine
• Karma
• WebdriverIO
• unittest

Development

# Dev build: install all dependencies, lint, test, and compile
make

# Production build: install production dependencies and compile
env PRODUCTION=1 make

# Run the development webserver
make runserver

# Run the development webserver with the production build
env PRODUCTION=1 make runserver

# Delete compiled files
make clean

# Start over from scratch and delete everything
make distclean

See the Makefile for additional, more granular targets. Using it requires:

• GNU Make, preferably 3.81 or better
• Python 3, pip, and virtualenv
• Node.js stable and npm
• Ruby and Bundler

Configuration

Environment variables:

• SPARKPOST_API_KEY - Used for sending e-mails via SparkPost
