1 00:00:00,470 --> 00:00:03,010 Databases are critical to a web application. 2 00:00:03,010 --> 00:00:05,580 They store information about businesses, users, 3 00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:09,580 products, and all the data needed to make a website run. 4 00:00:09,580 --> 00:00:12,610 In this unit, you'll learn SQL or Structured Query Language, 5 00:00:12,610 --> 00:00:15,590 the language used to communicate with databases. 6 00:00:15,590 --> 00:00:19,690 You'll learn how to write SQL and how to use NodeJS to talk to a database. 7 00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:24,630 In this project, you'll apply those skills to create a web application for 8 00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:28,400 listing, adding, updating, and deleting books in a library. 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,000 In this project, you'll dive into database work and 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,820 create an app that can store, retrieve, and update data. 11 00:00:34,820 --> 00:00:38,159 The application lists books stored in the library database, 12 00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:42,610 you'll be able to view book information stored in that database. 13 00:00:42,610 --> 00:00:44,790 You'll be able to add a new book using a web form. 14 00:00:46,999 --> 00:00:51,670 You'll also be able to edit information and delete books from the library. 15 00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:58,250 In the process, you'll work with routes, create middleware, and 16 00:00:58,250 --> 00:00:59,810 spin up a web server. 17 00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:02,160 This is a fun and challenging project. 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,080 You should check out the project instructions now to learn more about it. 19 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,680 I put a link in the notes below, have fun programming.
