A simple animated GIF library, developed as a Java web application using the Spring Framework as part of the Spring Basics course.

gif.lib

This application is used in the Spring Basics Treehouse course. It is meant to be a Java student's first look at developing a web application using Java. The app itself will be a library of animated GIFs, along the lines of giphy. It will have the following pages:

• Home page, listing all GIFs in the library
• Favorites page, listing all the GIFs that have been marked as a favorite
• Detail page for each GIF, showing the user that uploaded it and the date it was uploaded

What this app does:

• Serves dynamic web content according to URL, including index and detail pages
• Uses an underlying data source (static, Java data)
• Serves static assets, such as images, fonts, CSS, and JS

What this app does NOT do:

• Utilize dynamic data, such as a database
• Allow a user (web visitor) to alter underlying data, such as marking a GIF as a favorite or uploading a new GIF
• Implement user authentication
