Topics > 13. Databases & Object-Relational Mappings
Databases store and organize data used by web applications, while Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tools allow developers to interact with databases using object-oriented programming. ORMs like SQLAlchemy simplify the process of querying, updating, and managing data in relational databases. Learning about databases and ORMs is crucial for building data-driven web applications.
