<p><strong>Q: What was the request about? </strong></p><p>We had the bot built and hosted at Heroku, now figuring out how to add a database connection with an ORM like Storm or SQLAlchemy to keep track of statuses that we've replied to.<br><br><strong>Q: How did you help with the request?</strong></p><p>Using my programming experience, I am helping my student by showing him how to find resources and learn about new languages and libraries, as Python is new to me, too.<br><br><strong>Q: Any best practices &amp; key learnings you can share?</strong></p><p>Find questions answered on StackOverflow, read library documentation, follow the examples as close as possible, then modify your code for your purposes.</p>
