I hate spending hours just to set up new projects. To show some love, I created an all-encompassing starter project for RESTful web services with MVC 4.
My vision is an out-of-the-box "Enterprise Grade" foundation with features such as MVC, IoC, AOP, Logging, Unit Testing and more.
Why does this matter? Having a solid foundation with properly implemented design patterns, IoC Containers, and Logging allows you to focus on solving problems, not application configuration.
I have taken a very opinionated approach to the architecture and organization of this project. It has a standard project structure that keeps you thinking about code.
