+# node-mongodb-todo
+
+Part 1 of the <a href="https://codedamn.com/learn/node-mongodb-fundamentals">Learn MongoDB with Node.js</a> course from Codedamn. In this part a simple To Do app is created using Express.
+
+The installation and connection to a MongoDB database was the main issue address. A schema for this database was created using Mongoose.
+
+Additionally, a CRUD model was created to enable conversation between the frontend part of the application and the database.
+
+The pictures below depict the final working example:
