Setup

Download a copy of the states.csv file into your exercises/project directory of your choice.
Use the programming language of your choice to solve the following problems.

Host your front-end files!

Step 1: Configure a new site.dev on your Vagrant box

From the ~/vagrant-lamp/ directory on your Mac
- Run ansible-playbook ansible/playbooks/vagrant/site/static.yml
- Name the site your-github-username.dev` with your GitHub user name.
- Copy any .html files you want to host into ~/vagrant-lamp/sites/your-github-username.dev/public
- Create folders for assets like css, js, img. Populate them as necessary.

Step 2: Setup your GitHub Pages repo

Query Strings

In PHP, the $_GET SUPERGLOBAL is an associative array (available anywhere since it's a SUPERGLOBAL) that represents all the key => value pairs contained in the URL's Query String. The URL's query string represents a set of arbitrary key=value pairs that are a critical part fo the interface for your web applications.

Copy and paste this code to the top of your PHP script to see the $_GET array in relation to the Query String after the ? character:

// $_GET is PHP's globally accessible variable that contains any additional key=>value pairs sent with an HTTP GET request from a client
echo "The \$_GET SUPERGLOBAL is: ";
var_dump($_GET);

	Step 1.

	`vagrant ssh` to ssh into your Vagrant VM.
	from `/vagrant/sites/` run `composer create-project laravel/laravel {directory} 4.2 --prefer-dist`
	name `{directory}` project.dev or mynewsite.dev.

	Step 2.
	from your `~/vagrant-lamp/` directory on your Mac, run `ansible-playbook ansible/create-vagrant-site.yml`
	name the new site exactly as you've named project.dev or mynewsite.dev
