Our app template relies on a UNIX-based development environment and working knowledge of the command line. We have a Python and Node-based stack. Thus, if you are new to all of this, you should probably read our [development environment blog post](http://blog.apps.npr.org/2013/06/06/how-to-setup-a-developers-environment.html) first and make sure your environment matches ours. Namely, you should have Python 2.7 and the latest version of Node installed.

Also, all of our projects are deployed from the template to Amazon S3. You should have three buckets configured: one for production, one for staging and one for synchronizing large media assets (like images) across computers. For example, we use apps.npr.org, stage-apps.npr.org and assets.apps.npr.org for our three buckets, respectively.

But we think the payoff would be worth it for any news organization. Having a baseline template with sensible defaults makes all of your future projects faster, and you can spend more time focusing on the development of your individual project. We spend so much time working on our template up front because we like to spend as much time as we can working on the specifics of an individual project, rather than building the 90% of every website that is the same. The app template allows us to work at a quick pace, working on weekly sprints and turning around projects in a week or two.

If you work for a news organization looking to turn around web projects quickly, you need a place to start every time. Instead of making broad, templated design decisions that compromise the functionality and purpose of a project, use our template to handle the boring stuff and make more amazing things.
