Bands and Albums

This application keeps track of your favorite bands and albums.

With this application, you will be able to do the following:

• Store different bands and their albums into a database
• Visually manage the contents of your database
• Edit each band's and/or album's information
• Delete a band with its corresponding albums
• Delete single albums separately
• See a list of albums per band

Each list (bands/albums), is fetched via AJAX calls using the DataTables library alongside with Bootstrap. This offers a great advantage as it provides you with pagination, searching, sorting, etc.. Using Bootstrap also helps keeping a visually pleasant/modern application.
