The goal of the project is to deploy on our server a simple copy of the AirBnB website.
We are not implementing all the features, only some of them to cover all fundamental concepts of the higher level programming track.
After 4 months, we will have a complete web application composed by:
A command interpreter to manipulate data without a visual interface, like in a Shell (perfect for development and debugging). A website (the front-end) that shows the final product to everybody: static and dynamic. A database or files that store data (data = objects) An API that provides a communication interface between the front-end and your data (retrieve, create, delete, update them)

command interpreter:
-
What is it: A command line interpreter is any program that allows the entering of commands and then executes those commands to the operating system. It's literally an interpreter of commands.
-
How to start it: To start a command interpreter, you can open the terminal or command prompt on your computer.
-
How to use it: The process of using a command interpreter involves typing commands into the terminal or command prompt and pressing the enter key to execute the command. The command interpreter then processes the command and returns the output to the user.
-
Examples:
- To list all files in the current directory, type ls on a Unix-based system or dir on a Windows-based system.
- To change the current directory, type cd followed by the name of the directory you want to change to.
- To create a new directory, type mkdir followed by the name of the directory you want to create

Execution
The shell should work like this in interactive mode:
$ ./console.py
(hbnb) help
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF help quit
(hbnb)
(hbnb)
(hbnb) quit
$But also in non-interactive mode: (like the Shell project in C)
$ echo "help" | ./console.py
(hbnb)
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF help quit
(hbnb)
$
$ cat test_help
help
$
$ cat test_help | ./console.py
(hbnb)
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF help quit
(hbnb)
$
