VodQA PUNE

Quick Start & Auto Deployment

From the GitHub page, navigate to content folder and create/edit a yyyy-mm.html file. See content/example.html for possible parameters. If you save, the changes are automatically deployed at Snap-CI.

NOTE: GitHub's "create/edit file" buttons are very small and hard to find, but they are there (as long as you're logged in and have push rights to this repo).

Manual Development

We're using nanoc for static site generation. Jekyll/Octopress are hard-coded for blogging, while Nanoc is much simpler, doesn't take any assumptions and allows to build whatever type of content (not just blogs).

• Make sure you have RVM installed
• Clone this repo
• Run bundle install
• Run nanoc to compile the website
• Run nanoc view to start a server and browse to localhost:3000

For ease, there is a Guardfile. You can run bundle exec guard, it will keep watching for changes and re-compile the site whenever any file is changed.

Folder Structure

• assets - contains all assets
• assets/app.sass - contains the main stylesheet
• assets/img/speakers - contains speaker images
• content - content for each geek night
• layouts - layouts for default and archive versions
• Rules - routing rules
• gh-pages - folder containing the generated site

Front-End Development

• Pure HTML/CSS/Javascript website. No JQuery.
• Used HTML5 Boilerplate to generate the skeleton.
• Used colourlovers.com for the color swatches.
• Using SASS and Foundation for all the Styling.
• Icon fonts were generated and downloaded from Fontello. Only icons from the Modern Pictogram set were used for consistency.
