+# UGE / L2 / Intro to relational databases / Python project prototype
+
+
+## Background and goals
+
+The introductory course to relational databases ends with a project
+illustrating the use of a relational database together with a simple CRUD web
+application.
+
+The Python language could be a better fit compared to PHP for this kind of
+assignment as both students and the teaching staff are already familiar with
+the former from preceding units.
+
+To showcase Python as a platform suitable for this purpose, a small demo
+project specified will be implemented.
