In this session I cover a lot of ground. Creating a new set of projects in QtCreator, Test Driven Development (TDD), Creating a database, storing a key-value pair and retrieving it, and creating a command line interface (CLI) for the database too! Also cover C++17 functionality. Key-Value stores are a type of NoSQL database. They're conceptually simple, and so a good place to start on our quest to build a database from the ground up! I intend to add different database models and features in future.
