## Your turn
If you want to take your code to the next level, from [CLI](https://s.q37.info/cnh9nrw9) to [GUI](https://s.q37.info/hw9n3pjs), then you found the right toolkit.
With the [*Atlas* toolkit](http://atlastk.org/), you transform your programs in modern web applications ([*SPA*](https://s.q37.info/7sbmxd3j)) without the usual hassles:
- no *JavaScript* to write; only *HTML*(/*CSS*) and *Ruby*,
- no [front and back end architecture](https://s.q37.info/px7hhztd) to bother with,
- no [web server](https://s.q37.info/n3hpwsht) (*Apache*, *Nginx*…) to install,
- no need to deploy your application on a remote server,
- no incoming port to open on your internet box or routeur.
The *Atlas* toolkit is written in pure *Ruby*, with no native code and no dependencies, allowing the *Atlas* toolkit to be used on all environments where *Ruby* is available.
And simply by running them on a local computer connected to internet, applications using the *Atlas* toolkit will be accessible from the entire internet on laptops, smartphones, tablets…
## Content of the repository
The `Atlas` directory contains the *Ruby* source code of the *Atlas* toolkit, which is not needed to run the examples.
The `examples `directory contains some examples.
To run an example, launch, from the `examples` directory, `ruby -I../atlastk /main.rb`, where `` is the name of the example (`Blank`, `Chatroom`…).
