you're using Visual Studio, you'll need to open the .csproj |
project file directly. Visual Studio will later prompt you to save the |
Solution file, which you should save in the root directory (the first |
AspNetCoreTodo folder). You can also create an ASP.NET Core |
project directly within Visual Studio using the templates in File - |
New Project. |
A note about Git |
If you use Git or GitHub to manage your source code, now is a good time |
to do git init and initialize a Git repository in the project root |
directory: |
cd .. |
git init |
Make sure you add a .gitignore file that ignores the bin and obj |
directories. The Visual Studio template on GitHub's gitignore template |
repo (https://github.com/github/gitignore) works great. |

MVC basics |
In this chapter, you'll explore the MVC system in ASP.NET Core. MVC |
(Model-View-Controller) is a pattern for building web applications that's |
used in almost every web framework (Ruby on Rails and Express are |
popular examples), plus frontend JavaScript frameworks like Angular. |
Mobile apps on iOS and Android use a variation of MVC as well. |
As the name suggests, MVC has three components: models, views, and |
controllers. Controllers handle incoming requests from a client or web |
browser and make decisions about what code to run. Views are |
templates (usually HTML plus a templating language like Handlebars, |
Pug, or Razor) that get data added to them and then are displayed to the |
user. Models hold the data that is added to views, or data that is entered |
by the user. |
A common pattern for MVC code is: |
The controller receives a request and looks up some information in a |
database |
The controller creates a model with the information and attaches it |
to a view |
The view is rendered and displayed in the user's browser |
The user clicks a button or submits a form, which sends a new |
request to the controller, and the cycle repeats |
If you've worked with MVC in other languages, you'll feel right at home |
in ASP.NET Core MVC. If you're new to MVC, this chapter will teach you |
the basics and will help get you started. |

The "Hello World" exercise of MVC is building a to-do list application. It's |
a great project since it's small and simple in scope, but it touches each |
