Abstract
In this chapter we will cover the basics of creating a web dashboard for a project. A web dashboard is basically a web page that can be accessed from any device with a web browser. From that page we are able to see what our project is doing, or at least what the project thinks it’s doing, change its configuration, and give it instructions.
