Have you ever wanted to create a web app? Well, if you have, you will probably be aware of the fact that an app has normally a back-end which includes the logic and integration with a database, and a front-end which helps the user interact with our application. If you want a simple app in which requires a small database and some users, Is there a need for a full back-end system? Well no, actually there is a really cool service called Firebase which gives you a pretty good database. You don't need to know anything about Firebase to get started. Just be patient and move slowly through the material on this app and in no time you will be able to create your own web application.
