ASP.NET Core MVC Web Application

Project Overview

This project is a web application developed using ASP.NET Core MVC, Entity Framework, and Bootstrap. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of building web applications with ASP.NET Core MVC, utilizing modern development practices and tools. The application includes complete CRUD functionality, a relational database integration with MySQL, and a responsive design powered by Bootstrap 5. Additionally, the project incorporates HTML5 and CSS3 for front-end development.

Key Features

Framework and Technologies

• ASP.NET Core MVC (version 7.0): Used for building the web application with a clear separation of concerns through the Model-View-Controller architecture.
• Entity Framework Core: Implemented as the Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for database operations, facilitating Code-First workflow and migrations.
• Bootstrap 5: Ensures responsive and modern UI design.
• MySQL (version 5): Utilized as the database management system.
• HTML5 and CSS3: Employed for creating the structure and styling of the web pages.

Project Structure

• Controllers: Handle user input and interactions.
• Models: Define the data structure and business logic.
• Views: Present data to the user and capture user input.
• ViewModels: Used for passing data between controllers and views.

Database and Migrations
