SAE and SVN online Watch product prototyping tutorials

Get an overview of the SAE (Sina App Engine), which you can understand as a free online server. Because the axure generated document is the normal HTML format, which is the simplest static Web page, it can be uploaded to any Web server, a URL can be accessed.

First, you need to register as an SAE developer and need mobile bindings and real-name authentication. This is a bit of a hassle, but once and for all, the certification is basically free to use.

Then select "Create App" in the SAE Control Panel, we need to create a new PHP empty application (theoretically the HTML document is not related to the development language, but in the optional PHP, Python and Java, PHP is the most familiar, and does not need to apply rent):

Create a PHP empty app

Cut to this app, go to code management, and create a version:

Next you need another protagonist: SVN. SVN is the abbreviation for subversion, an open source version control system. But here you can simply understand the document synchronization tool. is to upload the prototype of the axure generated to the SAE server to support access through the browser.

First download the TORTOISESVN client, note that it is best to have a 1.7.x version, and differentiate between 32 and 64 bits. After installation and localization, create a new directory in your hard drive that will later be used to generate the Axure prototype (here is Ue_online), and right-click to select "SVN Checkout" (Checkout):

When you're done, you'll find a folder with "1" in the Directory ("1" is just the new version number of the SAE). From now on, you can generate the new UE document in this "1" directory every time.

Select SVN directory when generating HTML

The next step is to sync, right-click on the Ue_online folder, select "SVN commit" (SVN submit), then click "OK" to tick all the items:

Because there is no version of the new makefile, so the default is not checked, generally I am always the whole choice

After uploading, you are done! You can access the online documentation directly by using the URL of "app Address + folder" (pictured here: http://ueonline.sinaapp.com/Xiancheng_v1.2_iPhone/). The speed of SAE is very good at home, even through the mobile side, there is absolutely no problem.

SVN login ID and password are SAE's account number and security password.

And then if you want to create a new document, just save it to the new folder in the SVN directory when the axure generates the document, right-click to select Commit, and modify it to make it easier: directly generate overwrite the original folder, submit again (or note that the change list is ticked "all" on each commit).

Finally, it should be noted that this method is not able to encrypt the hidden, so theoretically your URL is accessible to anyone who knows. If you want to add a protection to this document, in the SAE application management to the left "application firewall", adding the IP whitelist, it is safe enough.
