All set. I’ve bundled clean, runnable **starter projects for every mini-project** (plus capstone + benchmarks) into a single zip you can drop into Visual Studio Code: [Download the Project Templates Pack](sandbox:/mnt/data/CSharp_Masterclass_Projects.zip) ### What’s inside - **01_HelloGenius** – console greeter - **02_UnitConverter** – km → miles - **03_NumberGuessingGame** – loops & conditionals - **04_StudentManager** – collections + LINQ - **05_RPGSimulator** – OOP (abstract classes & overrides) - **06_VehicleFactory** – inheritance, interfaces, factory - **07_StockNotifier** – Observer with events - **08_PluginCalculator** – DI/strategy-style ops - **09_WeatherDashboard** – async HTTP + JSON - **10_TaskTrackerDB** – EF Core + SQLite (with PackageReferences) - **11_ToDoWeb_MinimalApi** – ASP.NET Core Minimal API + SQLite - **12_WebScraper_Async** – concurrent fetch & save - **13_IoCContainer_Simple** – reflection + generics - **14_Benchmarks** – BenchmarkDotNet sample - **15_Capstone_Skeleton** – structured starting point Each project includes: - `*.csproj` targeting **.NET 8** - Minimal `Program.cs` (compiles immediately) - `README.md` with run instructions ### How to use 1. Unzip into a folder. 2. In a terminal at a project folder: - `dotnet restore` (for EF/benchmarks/web projects) - `dotnet run` 3. For the web API project, browse to the URL printed in the console (usually [http://localhost:5000](http://localhost:5000/) or 5080 depending on Kestrel). If you want, I can also generate a **GitHub-ready repo** (with a root `README.md`, solution file, and GitHub Actions CI) — just say the word and I’ll package it the same way.
