Project background

Building a Command Line CRUD App that uses a database to persist information. The goal of which is to demonstrate all the following skills:

• Ruby
• Object Orientation
• Relationships (via ActiveRecord)
• Problem Solving (via creating a Command Line Interface (CLI))

The project:

1. Contains at three models with three tables, including a join table.
2. Accesses a Sqlite3 database using ActiveRecord.
3. Has a CLI that allows users to interact with the database as defined by the user story.
4. Uses good OO design patterns.

Travel Ta Life CLI application

Use my little travel log app to keep track of your trips and create new ones. You can also specify activities you've done on a trip and write a post about it. Lastly, you can browse the world with an interactive world map in the terminal, as well as get more infos on a country you're curious about.
