The application can compile on any platform supported by Cordova.

The front-end (Client) development is in NodeJS: Ionic and AngularJS v1 and the latest work is currently in the Queen branch.

Development can be done on Mac, Windows and Linux - a Docker container containing all the dependencies was also set up and proved the quickest way to get off to a running start on Linux; the default Node environment on Windows and Mac had almost no issues.

The official back-end (Server) is hosted on Azure and the API is coded in .NET which you can do with the free version of Visual Studio.

Server code for the Hambasafe application. Application architecture consists of a 3-tier model consisting of:

• Hamba.Server Azure hosted WebAPI at HambasafeDev.azurewebsites.net: http://hambasafedev.azurewebsites.net/api/

• Hamba.Logic Business Logic layer responsible for translating DataAccess models to models in the WebApi Layer

• Hamba.DataAccess Data Access layer responsible for performing CRUD operations on the SQL Azure hosted database. Entity Framework (EF6) is used as the translating ORM.
