How we’re going to fix it • Using PowerShell to get things going • Less • Web.config • Code templates • Data annotations • EditorFor Templates • Bundles
Using PowerShell to get things setup • PowerShell can be used to automate our first task • Uninstall packages I don’t want • Install packages I always install • Update all the packages that are installed
Using Less • Less gives us Mixins • Parameters and variables • Separate files
Web.Config additions • View/web.config • Web.config and web.release.config
