The functional code has been commented out in the corresponding files.

• list-managers.html
• list-projects.html
• list-employees.html

Things I added:

• the Manager entity class and implementation to be more realistic to project management organizations.
• Additional Project and Employee attributes/relationships to better model real PM organizations.
• Pagination and Sorting of the table records using JpaRepository, Hibernate and Thymeleaf.
• Extra real-time graphs using graph.js and back end SQL queries to give the Dashboard more oomph.
• Active Navbar Links using Thymeleaf to show user clearly what page they're on
• Separated the Add Entity and Update Entity implementations with separate routes, methods and pages
• Added custom CSS for mobile and tablet views
• Customized error page content, sticky footer
• Live Heroku deployment

Things I learned about:

• AWS deployment and RDS
• Docker Container of a Spring Boot Web App
• Google Charts
• Building real time graphs from backend SQL queries using graph.js
• Pagination and Sorting using JPA Repository
• Data Transfer Objects (DTO)
• deeper knowledge of Thymeleaf templating

Initially, I included a fourth Entity for Location, but the database relationships quickly got muddled - once I realized Location and Project shared a One-to-One relationship I refactored and just made String location a property of Project class.
