Instructions

You have been hired as a web developer by Biag Raw, a small ill tempered man with an unfortunate name. Due to his unfriendly disposition, Mr. Raw spends most of his time alone reading and has amassed a large collection of books. Mr. Raw would like for you to create a website which he can use to keep track of his books. He would like to be able to store the title, author, publisher, and isbn number for each book in his collection and will need the ability to view, add, update, and delete books from his collection. Mr. Raw is not very technically savvy so the application will need to be friendly and easy to use, preventing him from making mistakes when entering books into the collection like forgetting to enter a required piece of data about a book. Mr. Raw would also like to be able to search his collection by any of the information that has been stored about his books.

Mr. Raw's web hosting service, Chepo Hosting, does not provide database use to their customers so all of the data about the books in the collection will need to be stored in a text file.
