# AIRTABLE LAB ![only database gif I could find](https://media.giphy.com/media/110dhxfJebYOTm/giphy.gif) ## MEETING 1 **goal**: put together resource docs on "database basics" **idea**: everyone can use these resources docs to spend 5-10 minutes grasping key concepts that people should understand about databases if they’re going to plan one. If they do this once, it will REALLY saves them time down the line! **we decided** * to watch the first three chunks of [this LinkedIn Learning Course on Database Basics](https://www.linkedin.com/learning/programming-foundations-databases-2/relationship-rules-and-referential-integrity?u=2194065) and to put the notes [here](https://hackmd.io/Bj00w1ZsSQK4ce21Qfo5Nw) * to meet up and work on the first couple of resource docs in Hackmd.io next time * for everyone to get signed up for hackmd.io (then Jordan invited them to this workspace). ### NEXT! we'll work on resource docs related to * records and fields (or objects and properties--whatever you want to call them) * relations (one to one, one to many, many to many) * normalization (1NF, 2NF, 3NF) * queries (& Airtable Views) * tools for planning databases (ERDs, scraps of paper, etc.) * Bok internal (once the structure is confirmed, let's map it out) * scripting in Airtable
