So many developers reach for the traditional relational database systems of MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server when building a web app, but there's another contender that might work for you: SQLite.

If there's beauty in simplicity, then SQLite wins the database pageant. Just getting started with databases? This session dives into the design philosophy of SQLite as a relational database system, describes the pros/cons of using it with various application architectures, highlights some quirks (especially for web apps!), then presents some real-world implementation examples and patterns that attendees can start using right away (including a GitHub repo). Please note that code samples are written in C#, but the core concepts discussed can be extended to any language.
