Parts Unlimited

Parts Unlimited is an example eCommerce website site based for training purposes on the website described in chapters 31-35 of The Phoenix Project, by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr and George Spafford, © 2013 IT Revolution Press LLC, Portland, OR. Resemblance to “Project Unicorn” in the novel is intentional; resemblance to any real company is purely coincidental.

The master branch of this repo contains the PartsUnlimted application, and deployment and configuration files of that sample app. This sample app and configuration files are then used in the labs appearing on the github pages site http://microsoft.github.io/PartsUnlimited. A shortend url is available in the form of http://aka.ms/pulabs

Any updates or changes to the application or labfiles can be made be merging changes into this master branch, but lab steps and graphics are sourced from the gh-pages branch. Updates to lab page configuration, the lab steps or graphics can be done through the https://github.com/Microsoft/PartsUnlimited/tree/gh-pages branch of this repo.
