Course manager web app

The Course Management System is a web application built using Spring Boot that facilitates the management of courses, students, and teachers. The system offers user registration and login functionalities to ensure secure access for its users. Depending on the type of account (admin, teacher, or student), different sets of features are available to cater to their respective needs. The application provides a REST API for external applications to access the system's data.

Features
