After the long weekend we were back at the Makers Academy today. It's amazing how tightly bonded I feel to many of my co-coders, I was really glad to see them again. And to get on with the serious business of designing a database in PostgreSQL.

The interface leaves a lot to be desired but it's effective, that's for sure. The practical project we're building to hone our skills on is a bookmark manager, allowing us to Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete entries (CRUD). We're also building a web interface for it so that should give us some more CSS experience.

Apparently by the end of the week we'll know what the hell any of this is supposed to mean.
