That's why you have to test your code :)

Thank you professor

Thank you so much! Just a question. I don't consider myself a real developer, it's more a humble hobby-kind approach. But still, I'd like to take on a project which includes setting up a MySQL DB combined with a Webserver which I would Like to Develop in node for customisation purposes. This Project is scarcely a serious Hobby at the Moment, but I hope with time and perseverance it will reach production state in an at least semi-professional measure. For that purpose, the Backend should be as scalable as possible from all I gather from Tutorials, Blog Posts and so on. I keep on Hearing and reading that Express js, although being a de-facto Standard, is not the Future when IT comes to webserver Frameworks. Obviously, I absolutely cannot judge these Statements due to my lack of development experience. Is there anybody more experienced here willing to share his or her thoughts on that matter?

Scalability is important but really only becomes an issue when you reach the point of hundreds or thousands of concurrent users. A hobby site will be limited more by the hosting and amount of memory allocated to running the site. Express is the most common framework/server solution when using JS, specifically NodeJS. If you are using Python its Django. Ruby => Rails, PHP then probably Laravel. There are other layers too - React + Remix, NextJS, Svelte + SvelteKit, Vue and Nuxt.... the list goes on. Some developers will fight to defend the framework that they prefer. All have pros and cons. There is no perfect language. No perfect framework. No perfect paradigm. Pick one. Practice with it. Become good at using it. Then figure out what its short comings are and why someone might prefer a different one.

Once again, thank you so much.

Anybody else getting this error on PC? *ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)*

@mitchell4217 if the user you created is called ODBC it should also have a password

@@SteveGriffith-Prof3ssorSt3v3 I don't remember creating any user. I came back in today and now I'm getting the same issue, but with 'root@localhost' (using password: YES). `root` does not work. Just clicking `ENTER` doesn't work.
