About

Everything goes digital these days, and so does money. Today, most people have credit cards, which saves us time and energy and protects us from unnecessary stress. Cards make our lives easier in so many ways to carry a wallet full of cash to providing consumer protection. In this project, you will develop a simple banking system with a database.

Graduate project

This project covers the core topics of the Databases with SQL and Python course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.

At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.

What you'll learn

Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:

Implement Luhn Algorithm to check the card number for validity

Create a database and store your data in it

Improve your system by extending its functionality.

In this case, the focus is on SQL. The project also helps understand the differences between MySQL and SQLite. An excellent exercise.

You can say something like this: I strengthened my understanding of SQL, transactions, and database persistence while building a complete banking system. I also learned how to structure Python classes to manage data, validation, and business logic in a real-world project.

I learned about the Luhn algorithm for credit card number validation, and how to work with SQLite databases in Python using the sqlite3 module.
