Project structure
As mentioned in Chapter 7, on testing, folder structures can reveal an application’s intent and provide documentation as well.
In this section, we’ll learn about folder structures with ASP.NET web applications. We’ll also learn where to place code based on intent, such as where to place API code or Entity Framework code.
