Description

The Course Registration System is a web application designed to streamline the process of course management and registration. This system enables administrators to create, manage, and delete courses while also allowing users to browse and register for available courses. The application is built using Spring Framework, Java, HTML, CSS, and Thymeleaf as the view engine. Persistent data is managed with JPA and stored in a MySQL database or an in-memory database as needed.
