Try .Net Mvc - Sample Project

This is a combination of the Try .Net MVC slides and challenges

How to run this project

To run this code, just clone the repo and make sure you've got the following installed:

1. An IDE or text editor (like Visual Studio Code which is what I used to update this project)
2. .NET Core, which you can directly from Microsoft's .NET Core download page
3. If you're running from command line, goto to the project's root directory and type dotnet restore first, and then dotnet run to build and run the application so that it's available locally at http://localhost:5000.

Differences between this project and what was in the course

1. The project was upgraded from .NET Core was RC1 to .NET Core 1.1. (This changed using Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc; to using Microsoft.AspNet.Core.Mvc; all other changes don't impact what was covered in the course)

2. Instead of both Equipment and Character using the HomeController and Home Index, they're using the EquipmentController and CharacterController respectively.

3. The navigation in the _Layout.cshtml file was updated to make both the Character and Equipment content accessible through the navigation for usability's sake. (this file was not discussed in Try .NET MVC)

.NET auto-generated README

When you create a .NET project from a template, it auto-generates a README. We've left the contents of that README below in case you're interested. Have fun!
