IT-conference App

May 2025

A Spring Boot app to manage IT conference events, speakers, and rooms. Users can view and favorite events; admins manage the content.

About This Project

This web application was developed for an Enterprise Web Development exam and simulates the functionality of an IT conference platform. It offers role-based access for guests, users, and admins to interact with conference events. While not deployed, the application runs locally and demonstrates full-stack Java web development skills using Spring Boot and Thymeleaf.

Key Features

  • Guest view
  • Login functionality
  • User favorites
  • Admin panel
  • Personalized greeting

Challenges & Solutions

  • Styling with Tailwind inside Thymeleaf templates → Learned how to combine utility-first styling with server-side template.
  • First-time use of Thymeleaf, Spring Boot, and JPA → Followed course materials and created small exercises to understand the ecosystem.
  • Setting up and connecting to a MySQL database → Practiced entity-relation mapping and REST setup with persistence logic.
