Further thoughts

As this project was my first time using Spring outside of a group setting, the learning experience was quite interesting.

Moving forward, I feel there is a need for exploring and learning ways to implement more defensive coding. The nature of databases in the real world, I feel, necessitates robust built-in protections in the DAO.
