Overview

Build Python Web App to collect user data and make economic decisions.
We will be using the oTree open-source framework to build the survey elements of the app.

The app is hosted at the following link and can be used to provide demo data.

App Modifications

• The `settings.py` file generated by oTree.
• The `models.py` file generated by oTree.
• The `pages.py` file generated by the oTree framework.
• The HTML files in the templates/workshop_app path.
  • These files are composed of both HTML and CSS to display the webpages as intended.
• The files for building and deploying the hosted app on the Heroku and Railway platforms.
  • The `Procfile` tells the platform how to start the server process.
  • The `runtime.txt` file specifies the Python version.
  • The `requirements.txt` file specifies the Python package versions.

Credit should be provided to Simon Frasier University and Professor Farouk Abdul-Salam for providing insight into the usage of these tools to build and deploy the app. This is originally created as part of an Online Workshop.
