Alonso

Alonso, a open source web registration framework built on top of the Senna registration platform.

This project is built on top of the AngularJS framework. More information about the AngularJS framework can be found at their site.

Note from the AngularJS folks: While angular is client-side-only technology and it's possible to create angular webapps that don't require a backend server at all, we recommend hosting the project files using a local webserver during development to avoid issues with security restrictions (sandbox) in browsers. The sandbox implementation varies between browsers, but quite often prevents things like cookies, xhr, etc to function properly when an html page is opened via file:// scheme instead of http://.
