Create a Basic Application

The ability to create applications quickly is the whole driving force behind RAPPTOR. It is a Rapid Application Development(RAD) platform. RAPPTOR's functionality allows for many different types of applications, from websites like http://www.rapptor.org to complex ontology driven system like amerigo.

The steps involved in creating a basic application include:

  • Creating the directory structures for your application.
  • Defining your data structure - This depends on what kind of system you want
  • Creating relevant PageParts or configuring existing PageParts - This also involves writing glues and defining Views


Not all of these steps must be followed in this order, E.g. You can design a theme immediately if you don't like the Standard Theme.

Note: It is important to note that each application requires is own version of the RAPPTOR system unless the applications are the same and the same requirements. E.g. Many text based websites can make use of one RAPPTOR deployment since they would be using the same functionality.
