contact.app

Contact.app

in chapter 3 of hypermedia systems, the authors talk of a simple contact management web app called Contact.app whose functionality is:

• view a list of contacts, including first name, last name, phone and email address
• search the contacts
• add a new contact
• view the details of a contact
• edit the details of a contact
• delete a contact

this example is a variation of that app, with all the said functionality.
