For lesson two we are switching tools from Bubble.io to Softr + Airtable. Bubble is a full-stack development platform that enables you to build anything that you can build in traditional web development. But sometimes you just need to solve a problem quickly for yourself, or a client and don’t need the robustness of a platform-like bubble. As well the next two lessons will focus on tools outside of bubble.io for these reasons below:

• You want a problem solver mindset, sometimes you should use the easiest tool to solve the problem the fastest
• Exposing yourself to multiple tools will help to foster your thinking towards problem-solving rather than knowing how to use a tool
• You may find that you like using other tools outside of bubble.
  • (You should still learn bubble)

By completing Lesson 2 you should learn these things:

• Basics of setting up a database Airtable
• How you can leverage no-code for specific business use cases
• How to setup an Airtable Database with Automation
• Building Front-End with Softr

<aside> 💡 For this lesson for the deadline field you will need to create a formula field that uses the formula below

</aside>

DATEADD({Start Date} ,duration, 'days')

DATEADD("07/10/19 01:01:00", 60, "seconds")

=> 2019-07-10 1:02am
