MCI Platform

Sample ASP.Net searchable directory Web application. Will use SQLite for a database, EF for data access.

Not implemented: Sane separation of concerns like Services, or any sort of security. No registration or identity management either.

This is useful to learn basic ASP.Net concepts, play around and see what you can create... or break.

C# version.

WHAT CAN I DO?

You can build it and search the database for practitioners matching your query. Try searching for Dr. Dre or Doolittle.
