    Deleting Books from a Database

    Before starting on the tasks, you can run the project by entering mvn tomcat7:run in the terminal. Once the app is running, you can view it in the Web Browser tab by refreshing the page at localhost:8000/books/admin. You should see the current admin page which is where we're going to make changes.

    Note: While in the terminal use ctrl+c to stop the app before checking off the tasks because it will interfere with the tests.
