    We're going to be building a book voting website 0:00
    that you can share among your book club to decide what people wanna read next. 0:03
    We'll be using authentication to allow only registered users to vote on books. 0:07
    We'll be using authorization to allow all users to add and 0:12
    edit their own books, and allow administrators to modify any books. 0:16
    Let's dig into the application and see how it works. 0:21
    The core of our application falls around our list of books. 0:24
    These books are able to be submitted by authenticated users only, but 0:28
    can be viewed by anyone. 0:32
    We'll build a full registration for creating new users and 0:33
    also a login system for logging into the site. 0:37
    Once you're logged into the site, you'll see the link to add a book. 0:43
    This is where you can add your own books. 0:47
    Also on the booklist page, we now have the ability to edit and 0:50
    delete books as well as the up vote and down vote buttons. 0:53
    Once you add a book you'll be able to edit and 0:57
    delete your own books but not books added by other people. 0:59
    Unless you're an administrator in which case you can edit and delete all books. 1:03
    Once you're logged in and 1:08
    you're an administrator you'll be able to access the administrator panel. 1:10
    Here you'll see all users that are currently signed up for the application. 1:14
    As an administrator you'll be able to promote other users to an administrator 1:18
    and also demote them to a regular user. 1:22
