Sinatra Course Management app

This app was built with Sinatra, extended with Rake tasks for working with an SQL database using ActiveRecord ORM.

The course management app provides a database and web interface for users to:

• Sign up as a student or instructor
• Users can review all courses and users available
• Each user can ONLY modify content of their own course/registration:
  • An instructor can create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) a course
  • A student can create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) a course registration
• User inputs are validated for account/course/registration creation

Usage

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install Ruby gem dependencies.

You can start one of Rack's supported servers using the shotgun command shotgun

Shotgun can be used as an alternative to the complex reloading logic provided by web frameworks or in environments that don't support application reloading.

Model Classes

The Course Management app database includes three model classes: User, Course, UserCourse

1. User: stores user attributes, including:

   • Full Name

2. Course: stores course attributes, including:

   • Name

   • Icon, a string value that is commonly an emoji 📚
   • Level, indicates course difficulty (Beginner == 0, Intermediate == 1, Advance == 2)
   • Instructor_id, to associate course with an instructor

3. UserCourse: stores student course registrations attributes, including:
