BYOB (Build Your Own Backend) NBA

Involved Technologies

• Node.js / Express
• Postgres
• Knex

Project Summary

• BYOB NBA was a solo student project completed within one week as an introduction to coding in the backend, specifically with regard to fetch request endpoints. NBA team data was downloaded from https://www.basketball-reference.com/ and reformatted into a pet-sized API with two tables (relational database). One table included information on all modern NBA teams, the other included information on all NBA champions.
