A sample learning project to get my feet wet in asp.Net MVC with EF.

A small text manipulation app is being built together with a very simple prototype of an admin (really two projects in one, but I usd a single repository to keep things simple).

Built with .Net 4.5, asp.Net MVC 5.1, EF 6

So far,

• the index page has filtering, column sorting, pagination.
• MVC areas are being used to organized the code.
• PagedList is being used for pagination.
• Autofac is being used for dependancy injection (IoC).
• Nunit is being used for unit testing.
• Moq is being used for mocking.
• Glimpse is being used for debugging and diagnostics in development.
• Elmah is used for error handling and reporting in staging, useful for environment related errors.
• A view model is being used for all crud operations.
• Filtering/sorting/pagination state is maintained in the query string throughout the admin
• an in memory database is set up for integration testing
• I am mocking EF's DbSet and injecting it into the controllers for testing, rather than creating an additional repository layer and mocking up repository stubs. I am not interested in abstracting away the EF at this time.
• the database is dropped/recreated and re-seeded automatically on every model change during development, to keep things simple so we don't have to mess around with migrations.
• Unit tests are written for all crud operations, including redirects and error handling
