Exercise Tracker API and Mongoose Concepts

This video tutorial by Linda Sunyan guides viewers through creating an exercise tracker as part of the backend development and APIs project on freeCodeCamp. The tutorial covers setting up the project using Repl.it and GitHub, connecting to MongoDB, creating schemas and models with Mongoose, and implementing API endpoints for user and exercise management. The video also includes troubleshooting tips and demonstrates testing the application to ensure functionality.
