Streamlining VS MVC Projects with PowerShell and Custom Code Templates

This project outlines strategies for improving the setup and management of ASP.NET MVC applications using Visual Studio. By leveraging PowerShell for automation, we aim to simplify package management—streamlining installations, updates, and removals. We will also explore customization techniques through code templates for views and controllers, minimizing messy code while enhancing validation and data representations. Additionally, we'll integrate Less for better CSS management, employing features like mixins and variables to create a more efficient and maintainable project structure.
