The Pillar Learning Center is a tool for Apprentices to track their learning progress. Inspiration for this project came from the book "Apprenticeship Patterns", specifically around the Record What You Learn pattern. The overall idea of this pattern is to create a chronological record of your learning progress so that you can inspire those around you, revisit what you've learned on a regular basis, and preserve your journey.
The Pillar Learning Center is a Spring Boot application and uses MySQL as the database.
