##SlimUI Framework

Thank you for trying out the SlimUI framework. See it running live here:

http://jtibble.github.io/slimui/sample-application.html#/About

Some of the project goals:

• Simplify the process of developing web applications
• Abstract-away the web technology stack
• Allow developers of all skill levels to add and modify application-specific functionality in a framework-agnostic way

##Sample Application A sample application is included with this repository. To try it out, follow these steps:

0. Clone this repository to your local machine
1. Install NodeJS (and Node Package Manager, NPM) on your machine
2. Install Gulp (a NodeJS built-tool) by running 'npm install'
3. Build the framework and sample application by running 'gulp SampleApplication'
   • This collects all the source files and HTML into a file, app.js, and puts it in the project directory.
   • This app.js file is loaded by the SlimUI framework when the sample_application.html is opened by your browser
4. Host this folder with a webserver and open sample_application.html, and navigate to it from your favorite browser.

More documentation is provided in the sample application.
