* webmachine
** Overview
Webmachine is an application layer that adds HTTP semantic awareness
on top of the excellent bit-pushing and HTTP syntax-management
provided by mochiweb, and provides a simple and clean way to connect
that to your application's behavior.

More information is available [[http://webmachine.basho.com/][here]].

** Quick Start
A shell script is provided in the =webmachine= repository to help
users quickly and easily create a new =webmachine= application.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
git clone git://github.com/basho/webmachine.git
cd webmachine
./scripts/new_webmachine.sh mydemo
#+END_SRC

A destination path can also be passed to the =new_webmachine.sh=
script.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
./scripts/new_webmachine.sh mydemo ~/webmachine_applications
#+END_SRC

Once a new application has been created it can be built and started.

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
cd mydemo
make
./start.sh
#+END_SRC

The application will be available at [[http://localhost:8000]].
