Library Management System for Programvareverkstedet

Primary LanguagePython

Worblehat

What?

Worblehat is a simple library management system written specifically for Programvareverkstedet.

Why?

Programvareverkstedet is a small community with many books and games. A simple web platform is needed to manage the library. We need to know who owns each item, if we can loan it out and where it is.

How?

The entire application is written in flask.

Flask functions as a web server, and uses an ORM(SQLAlchemy) to store the data in an SQLite database.

The resulting web page is rendered on the server by jinja templates in flask.
