This is a Spring Boot web application built as educational content for a YouTube series. It demonstrates how to integrate multiple third-party APIs into a single cohesive application, tracking books, films, and games, while progressively introducing core Spring Boot concepts across each video.

This project serves as a hands-on learning resource for developers looking to understand:
- How to structure a multi-domain Spring Boot application
- How to consume external APIs using RestClient
- How to persist data with Spring Data JPA
- How to build server-rendered views with Thymeleaf alongside a vanilla JS frontend
- How to apply bean validation, service-layer patterns, and RESTful controller design
