Hello! My name is Adam Traub. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm a Python dev so I decided to put the AI on the server side with python and then sprinkle in some jquery goodness on the client side to make things run smoothly and beautifully.

Running this application should be extremely easy. I generally build my Django apps on top of Google App Engine. If you're on a Linux machine, setting up GAE can be a bit of a pain because the official instructions seem to end before setup is complete. This site has all the info you should need: http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/web-services/excerpts/9780596800697/run-google-app-linux.html

The game is very straight forward. Click on a box to make your move. If you'd like to allow the AI to go first, simply click the button that says, "After you". Naturally, I hide this button after the first move has been taken.

While I am a (new) fan of Bootstrap, I opted not to use it as I felt the interface could be made reasonably responsive without it. I have another Django application at: https://github.com/adtraub/isthatawordadam

Originally I created this application as a test for a company I was intending to apply to, however, I received a job offer the day I intended to submit it. While I no longer intend to pursue the position for the company I created this for, I see no reason not to leave it online and allow others to see it. It's a nifty little app, I'd say.

Tic-Tac-Toe makes for a fun coding Kata!
