November 1, 2020 Got my first users

After reaching out I got my first five users who will now receive database modelling exercises through e-mail :-)

I've also added another YouTube video, talking about a previous final exam for the "Fachinformatiker" tranining. I hope, that I'll be able to publish a YouTube sum-up once a week.

For the next few days I want to implement to automatically generate a sitemap for SEO reasons, based upon all publicly available modelling exercises on database-modelling.com.

    Woah, didn't know this was part of German exams. Opens up a lot of opportunities for integrations with various test-prep providers.

      It's part of Germany's training for "Fachinformatiker" (software developers). But it's also part of studies like B.Sc..
