Back-end DeveloperContributions:44 commits, 4 pushes, 2 comments in 6 years 3 months
Contributions summary:Siva contributed initial code, likely laying the foundation for a Spring MVC application with Hibernate. The commits demonstrate the creation of user management forms (editUser.jsp, newUser.jsp) and Java code for database interaction (HibernateUserDAO.java, LoginFormController.java), indicating the development of core functionalities for user management. The use of Spring MVC and Hibernate, along with the associated JSP files, suggests the user was responsible for developing the back-end logic, data persistence, and some basic UI elements.
