DESCRIPTION:Most developers have to interact with databases at some point\,
  and therefore need to know at least a little bit about them\, but probabl
 y don't have much training or experience in that area. I've worked with da
 tabases for over 25 years because I love them so much\, but I'm aware that
  most people don't feel the same way! \n\nAs a Python developer\, you prob
 ably just want the database to quietly do its thing in the background so y
 ou can concentrate on coding. That seems like a reasonable request. But th
 e world of databases is changing. The traditional DBA role is becoming les
 s common\, and developers are increasingly expected to manage their own da
 tabases. \n\nSo let's talk about what you actually need to know about data
 bases. You should come away reassured that\, although it helps to have a s
 mattering of database knowledge\, you don't need to be a database expert. 
 We'll explore the minimum that you *do* need to know\, and look at where y
 ou can find more information or help when you need it.\n\nI don't expect t
 o turn everyone into a database enthusiast\, but I hope I can share some o
 f my love of databases with you along the way.
