What We're Building

Dur­ing this course we are going to build a sam­ple site called Down­link. This is a fic­tion­al space enthu­si­ast web­site and pod­cast pub­lished by a fic­tion­al team of retired space­flight avion­ics soft­ware engineers.

After retir­ing from NASA, this team decid­ed they want­ed to con­tin­ue their pas­sion of space flight and explo­ration by reg­u­lar­ly pub­lish­ing their thoughts and opin­ions and on the ongo­ing activ­i­ties of space explo­ration, new dis­cov­er­ies, manned mis­sions, and the Inter­na­tion­al Space Station.

The site con­sists Pod­cast entries, Blog, entries, and lat­er we’ll add Reviews as a test of our flex­i­ble tem­plate stack.

To set up the site, fol­low the instruc­tions in the README file of the project Github repos­i­to­ry. You need to start at the start-3 branch of the repository.
