In this project, I built a social network website where people can register for a free account and chirp their thoughts in 240 characters or less to the world!

• Users need to be able to register for an account.
• Users need to be able to log in to their account.
• Users need to be able to post "Chirps".
• Users need to be able to see "Chirps" that other users have posted.
• Users need to be able to like each others "Chirps".

1. Created an Entity Relationship Diagram before coding. This helped in building my application.
2. Opened Visual Studio, created a new Solution called Chirper, with an ASP Web API project called Chirper.API.
3. From the Package Manager Console, added the following dependencies using these commands:
   • Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin
   • Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework
   • Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.Host.SystemWeb
   • Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Owin
   • Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.Security.OAuth
   • Install-Package Microsoft.Owin.Cors
4. In my models folder, created the necessary classes representing the entities I designed in step 1.
5. Created a DataContext class in a folder called Infrastructure that inherits from IdentityDbContext.
6. Configured the entity relationships as shown in class.
7. Created my database using Migrations. Enable-Migrations, Add-Migration InitialCreate and Update-Database were the commands.
8. Create my Web API controllers, one per Model class.
9. Created my Angular application as discussed in class.
