1 Project: URL shortener slide

Update templates/home.html to create a form with 2 text fields: the short path, and the long url.
1. Use the label tag to label the text fields.
2. Improve the HTML with at least 4 non-form tag types.
3. HTML must validate.
4. Improve the CSS with at least 4 new selectors.
5. Improve the CSS with at least 4 new properties.
6. CSS must validate.
7. Use Javascript to ensure the short path is only letters before the submit button can be clicked.
The form must POST a request to server/shorts to create a new association between the short name and the long url.
server/shorts must return HTML with information about the new association.
Future attempts to GET server/short/<name> must redirect to the long url.
Attempts to GET server/short/<name> where <name> has no association must return 404 NOT FOUND

Suggest using same workflow as homework: checkout -b for a new feature, issue a pull request, get someone on your team to review, merge into master
You can only run one server/app.py at a time – even from different directories
