ASP.NET Boilerplate is a starting point for new modern ASP.NET MVC web applications with best practices and most popular tools!

ASP.NET Boilerplate implements NLayer architecture and Domain Driven Design with these tools:

• Server side
  • ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web API (as web framework)
  • Castle windsor (as Dependency Injection container)
  • EntityFramework or NHibernate+FluentNHibernate+FluentMigrations (for ORM and DB migrations)
  • Log4Net (for logging)
  • AutoMapper (for DTO adapters and other mappings)
• Client side
  • Twitter bootstrap (as HTML & CSS framework)
  • Less (as CSS pre-compiler)
  • AngularJs or DurandalJs (as Single Page Application (SPA) framework)
  • jQuery (as DOM & Ajax library)
  • Modernizr (for feature detection)
  • Other JS libraries: jQuery.validate, jQuery.form, jQuery.blockUI, json2

It adds it's own techniques such as:

• Auto-creating Web API layer for Application Services
• Auto-creating Javascript proxy layer to use Web API layer

Also adds standard stuff:

• Authentication & Authorization
• User & Role management
• Exception handling
• Validation

and so on... See http://www.aspnetboilerplate.com for more.
