askme is a simple application designed to solicit immediate feedback during public speaking engagements, and is used as a demo app for multiple application architecture and dev process demos. It's also a cool and useful application in its own right.

ask-me

This application is used as part of a Lean Engineering or DevOps demo. This is just a frontend part of the app and in order to run it successfully you will need to get the backend part as well.

To get the frontend path up and running you will need:

• nodejs (version 4.2 is recommended, should be running on older ones without a problem)
• npm (2.14 was used the last time feature were added)

The workflow / compilation is standard AOWP stuff:

• npm install
• bower install
• grunt build/serve

Note: The app uses http and websockets to communicate to backend.

To run the BDD/acceptance tests you will need:

• phantomjs with webdriver running on port 4444 (phantomjs --webdriver=4444)
• an instance of the frontend part running in the background locally (grunt serve)
• an instance of the backend part (with db of course) running locally (node index.js in the backend part folder)
• grunt acceptance should connect to the app via the phantomjs and the bdd tests

To run unit tests:

• grunt test

To run static code analysis:

• grunt jshint
