Understanding the ASP.NET MVC 4 Project Structure and Folders

Introduction

When I first started doing Net Mvc programming, one of the first stumbling block I had was understanding the Asp.Net MVC 4 project structure and folders. So I decided to share some of what I know now that I’m comfortable with them. This tutorial applies to both Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012, sorry Visual studio 2008 and Visual studio 2005 folks, I was not programming .Net and or C# back in those days. This is not a What is Visual Studio tutorial, but I have a separate post coming up soon for that if you’re new to it as well. The language does not matter, either C# or Visual Basic will do. We’ll use a new Asp.Net MVC3/4 web application as the example for this post.
