Reflection

  • This project was a 1 person project and our first project to create and format a backend server.
  • I set out create a RESTful api that allows users to receive and manipulate data at those endpoints
  • I used Node, Express and 3 SQL tables to store states, cities and venues.
  • I had a job interview a couple days into this project that only and preparing for that interview, which was my first put me really far behind so I really struggled to catch up throughout the week
