What is an Acre Application?
At its simplest, an Acre application is: • an HTML file containing HTML mark-up, and Acre API and templating commands • a file containing a Metaweb Query Language query that the HTML file uses to get information from the Freebase database The tutorial you’re reading right now is the index file for an Acre application that you will copy and create your own version of. This tutorial will walk you through the process of creating a very simple application that only uses these two files to return a list of all the albums by an artist in Freebase. Some knowledge of HTML and JavaScript will help you understand how the code in this application works, but you can also cut-and-paste this code into your own applications, make minor changes, and create your own applications without much additional knowledge or effort.
