👋 Welcome to the SEAC Tool Shed Wiki!

The SEAC Tool Shed application is an interface and database application for the Tool Shed program of the Southeast Area Coalition (SEAC). The application is meant to handle user, transaction, and system information; to increase efficiency and decrease cost; and to provide a platform for the program's continued growth. Our Deployment Plan contains all relevant information on installation and initial setup of the application.

Here's where you can find tutorials for the setup and operation of this application, as well as project documentation for technical aspects. See the sidebar for links to each page.

Development Stack

The new SEAC Tool Shed database website application uses a number of applications and programming frameworks which make up the development stack. Our application makes use of Amazon Web Services in combination with Node.js, CSS, Python, MySQL, and Square for payment interactions. For more information regarding the development stack, please see the Development Stack page.
