Personal Website

This is my updated personal website. You can see the live version here.

Running a Local Copy

To run a local copy, cd to the root directory and run:

python server.py

This starts a local server for the directory. You can then view my site at the port 8000; if you desire, you can change the port in server.py. The default SimpleHTTPServer isn't adequate because the local server needs to redirect to index if a file wasn't found. With the redirecting server script, Backbone's router can then handle all the file paths.

Included 3rd Party Libraries

I am currently using Backbone.js and Require.js for the framework of my website. In the future I plan to incorporate r.js, Require's optimizer, to minify my modules and increase performance. I also have plans to use Prerender.io to increase my website's SEO.
