Databases
MODELLING [ER DIAGRAM / RELATIONAL DIAGRAM] : As I am building the database from the ground-up, I started with a simple E/R diagram in order to analyze what traits images would need to be stored and searchable by the database. This taught me how to build a suitable and efficient E/R diagram. I also had to collaborate with my supervisor in the lab in order to make sure I was making a useful database, which taught me more about how to communicate technical concepts to non-technical people.
IMPLEMENTATION [SQL]: To implement the database, which I am currently working on, I will have to use a virtual environment as well as SQL.
