Chef web app developer training - Part 7 continued (draft)

The purpose of this series of tutorials is to take web app developers through the basic knowledge necessary to create and maintain the cookbooks used to deploy web applications.

Here we are going to create a data bag which we will shortly be consuming in a cookbook recipe.

We are going to create a databag on class01 named for your favourite sports team and add some players to it.
