Twitter Bootstrap Website Deployed with GAE

Question

So I'm a programming noob. I have been following many of the Udacity classes and I am slowly learning to code.

Alright so here's my question. I have built the basic HTML files of my blog using Twitter Bootstrap as it is so simple to use. Now what I would like to do is to combine the great template's that Bootstrap provides with the simple hosting services of Google App Engine. This is where my noobness comes in and I'm totally lost.

Any help would be appreciated, don't be afraid to hurt my feelings I am noob and will understand if this is completely impossible.

Answer 1

It is perfectly possible. Download bootstrap to a separate folder and in your app.yaml file, have your handler which is a static_dir for /bootstrap

application: application-name
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /stylesheets
  static_dir: stylesheets

- url: /bootstrap
  static_dir: bootstrap

- url: /.*
  script: todoapp.py

And in all your html files refere to bootstrap like this.

<link href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="bootstrap/js/jquery.js"></script>

You should be good to go!

Answer 2

Have a look at gae-boilerplate. Its based on webapp2 and twitter bootstrap.

• Docs https://github.com/coto/gae-boilerplate
• demo http://appengine.beecoss.com/

It does pretty much what you want out of the box along with a bunch of other features you may well want.
