This is an Amazon-like inventory management system using Node.js & MySQL through a command line interface. After reading the book, "The Everything Store" about the start of Amazon.com one chapter that caught my attention related to a bug. Th bug in question allowed someone to input a negative integer for the number of books they wanted to order and pay themself a refund check. When building this application I wanted to see how I could fix that bug.
