About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a basic web service (called an API) that lets users add books to a library, list all books, and search for books by title or author. All the data will be stored in memory, and you'll use simple web requests to interact with your API.

Why it's a good starter: This project is designed for beginners, with clear steps and manageable tasks. You'll learn how web apps work behind-the-scenes and practice using popular tools, all without needing advanced coding or math.

What you'll learn: You'll get hands-on experience with basic programming, working with web requests, and organizing code for real projects. It's a great way to build confidence for future, more complex projects!

Milestones

1. Project Setup & Planning

10 marks 7d

Submit your project folder with a README describing your plan, chosen language, and tools. Make sure your environment is ready (e.g., Python installed, Git initialized, basic folder structure created).

2. Core Build: Add & List Endpoints

30 marks 10d

Submit working code for the 'add book' and 'list books' endpoints. Both should be tested and documented. You should be able to add new books and retrieve all books via API calls.

3. Core Build: Search Feature

30 marks 10d

Submit working code for the 'search books' endpoint. It should allow searching by title or author. Demonstrate with sample API calls and responses.

4. Testing & Polish

20 marks 7d

Submit your tested project, with fixes for errors and clear instructions for running and testing the API. Include example requests and responses, and polish your code and documentation.

5. Demo & Short Report

10 marks 6d

Submit a brief report (1-2 pages) explaining your approach, challenges, and what you learned. Share a simple demo (screenshots or short video) showing your API in action.
