Summary
Knowing how to install and manage external libraries is an incredibly helpful tool in developing any application you may find yourself working on in the future. Finding an existing Shard can dramatically speed up the development time of your projects by removing the need to implement that code yourself. It will also make your project easier to maintain since you will not need to maintain the code yourself. Be sure to keep an eye on the lists and databases we talked about for Shards that could be useful in your projects!
In the next chapter, we are going to make use of some external libraries in order to create a web application using Athena.
