Overview

This project was an exercise in both teamwork and fundamentals of application programming in Java using Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, and the Java Persistence API (JPA). Team DSB was tasked with designing and developing a working CRUD web application that exhibited basic functionality common to database operation.

Project Choise

We chose a recipe sharing app because the team agreed it was a great way to explore and put into practice the skills in Java, templating, MVC archtecture, and CRUD. ... and we were hungry!
