I am going to start a new tutorial series on creating a simple real-time project (Employee Management System) using Spring boot and Thymeleaf. This tutorial series is very useful for beginners to understand how to develop a simple real-time project.

I have also created a video tutorial series on this tutorial series at YouTube Video Series - Spring Boot Thymeleaf CRUD Database Real-Time Project.

Users should be able to:
