In this chapter we saw the concept of the project that we are going to build throughout this book. We also described in detail each part of the social network, the functionalities that will be available to the user, and the components that we will learn on building each section.

We also introduced the technical approach that we will use to build the social network, how it works, the benefits and downsides of using it, and why we choose this option instead of a more conventional one.
