### What is aurora?

Aurora is a lightweight social network application written in [Go programming language](http://golang.org/),

and using [bolt database](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt) as its main storage source.

This is not for production use, I started this project as a way to learn more about the Go

programming language, and also to experiment with testing web services in Go.

## Guide

1. [Getting started](docs/getting-started.md)

	- [x] Overview

	- [x] Installation

### Alternative way to build

I was digging in the go standard library, and thought I should experiment on the `text/template`. I extended it and made a toy yet working build tool(a.k.a template based build tool). The source code is found here [zanzibar](https://github.com/gernest/zanzibar).

You can build aurora using zanzibar tool. Install it first.

	go get github.com/gernest/zanzibar

clone aurora

	git clone https://github.com/gernest/aurora

cd into aurora and run zanzibar

	cd aurora&&zanzibar

you should find your build in builds directory.
