About The Project

This project serves as a tool for storing, classifying, and accessing media archives of church sermon series. It is a backend-only API solution currently, though might be augmented with a frontend at a later point or by another contributor.

This project is intended to serve as my practice and learning playground prior to starting an internship for Summer 2026 in which I will need to use Spring Boot. As a result, many mistakes may be made and code may not be done optimally the first time around. I also am relying extensively on online examples, documentation, and Artificial Intelligence tools (GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini in particular) for general Spring Boot advice and when troubleshooting errors I haven't seen before.
