Folks, this afternoon I was compelled to start a demo web app for someone, and I figured it was time commit to MVC 4 and use it as a realistic training exercise. The app will be quite simple: A login page, a pick list page and a data entry page; no themes; no AJAX, no jQuery.
A new MVC4 Internet solution created by the VS2013 wizard is grotesque overkill with 52 references and dozens of scripts and images. I was about to start stripping all the stuff I don't need away, but I'm not sure what needed or not and I could easily break the thing to hell. What do others in here do when they want to start a new MVC 4 project? Do you start with an empty one, or strip down a generated one, or something else more convenient that I'm not aware of? *Greg K*
