SAVE Animals Repository

Goals

Three Montgomery Upper Middle School students are working on an app for SAVE (an animal shelter) to provide the following capabilities - * Allow potential adopters to view pet inventory and contact SAVE if interested * Allow people to see what donations SAVE needs * Allow potential volunteers to sign-up

Backlog

• Currently, pet inventory is packaged with the app as a local file - we need to connect the app to a remote data base/file
• Build out volunteer page and email capability
• Build out donate page and connect it to a remote data base/file
• Data entry screens to allow SAVE to manage pet inventory
• Data entry screen to allow SAVE to change what donations they require

Development Platform

• AppceleratorStudio 4.0 download at https://web.appcelerator.com/product/studio
• Languages used: JavaScript, XML

Development Process

• Clone the repository
• Fire up AppceleratorStudio
• File->Import
• Choose Appcelerator/Existing Mobile Project
• Browse to and select the cloned folder (savePets)
• Finish

savePets should now show up under the Project Explorer on the left of AppceleratorStudio's IDE. You can now work on the files under the app folder.

Code Organization

• All application code is under the 'app' folder
• All data that is currently locally packaged with the app is in JSON form under 'app/alloy.js'
