to keep things simple, I have utilised what is already included when creating a new Web Application (MVC) template in Visual Studio. Jquery for client side scripts, bootstrap for UI design.

• this project is built using .NET Core 3.1 and SQL Server 2017
• to run the project:
• make sure that your machine has .NET Core 3.1 SDK installed
• open the project in Visual Studio 2019
• publish the project NPV-Exercise.Database, this would create the database tables needed for the project
• change the AppDatabaseConnectionString value found in the necessary appSettings.json file with the valid connection string (on local environment, make sure its appSettings.Development.json)
• Build the npv-exercise project
