Presentation:

You will present your project to appropriate members of the UM Libraries in the Zoom meeting. You will explain your solution, identify any issues you encountered, and outline any enhancements that you might add later.

Notes:

• You can use any IDE you want, but for free applications you could try VSCode and MySQL Workbench.
• Don’t worry too much about styling the final product.
