+# Habit Tracker
+Console based C# application using ADO.NET to created CRUD operations against an SQLite database.
+
+Project from: [C# Academy](https://thecsharpacademy.com/)
+
+## Requirements:
+- [x] This is an application where you’ll log occurrences of a habit.
+- [x] This habit can't be tracked by time (ex. hours of sleep), only by quantity (ex. number of water glasses a day)
+- [x] Users need to be able to input the date of the occurrence of the habit
+- [x] The application should store and retrieve data from a real database
+- [x] When the application starts, it should create a sqlite database, if one isn’t present.
+- [x] It should also create a table in the database, where the habit will be logged.
+- [x] The users should be able to insert, delete, update and view their logged habit.
+- [x] You should handle all possible errors so that the application never crashes.
+- [x] You can only interact with the database using ADO.NET. You can’t use mappers such as Entity Framework or Dapper.
+- [x] Follow the DRY Principle, and avoid code repetition.
+- [x] Your project needs to contain a Read Me file where you'll explain how your app works and tell a little bit about your thought progress.
+
+## Features:
+* Database
+  - Using a SQLite database
+  - If the database doesn't exist it is created at the start
+

+
+  - Asks the user which record to update by entering the **ID**
+  - Asking the user to enter the corrected number of glasses drank
+
+* Deleting a record
+
+    <img width="642" height="275" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/82755861-4e2d-460d-b0da-5bdf3c0ef655" />
+
+  - Asks user which record to delete by entering the **ID**
+
+## My Thoughts:
+* Challenges
+  - I really enjoyed this project and using a database with C# to store data so it can be recalled even when the application is closed and reopened
+  - I had to learn how to use ADO.NET to interact with a database
+  - I was quite challenged by DateTime as I only need the date without the time but I was able to use the [documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/?view=net-10.0) to find a solution
+
+* What I would improve
+  - I would like to remake the UI using *Spectre Console* to improve the apperance
+  - I would like to allow for multiple habits to be tracked within the table
