## What it is
A sample ASP.NET Core application demonstrating Clean Architecture practices, accompanying Matthew Renze's Pluralsight course. It ships in three variations showing progressively cleaner decoupling from the persistence layer via a DbSet adapter and repository/unit-of-work patterns.

## Use cases
- learn clean architecture in .NET
- see repository and unit of work patterns in C#
- example of decoupling EF Core from the domain layer
- study sample ASP.NET Core MVC app structure
- reference for teaching software architecture patterns

## When to choose
- learning or teaching Clean Architecture with .NET
- comparing persistence-decoupling strategies in C# codebases
- following the accompanying Pluralsight course

## When to avoid
- needing a production-ready application template
- working outside the .NET ecosystem
- wanting a minimal example without architectural ceremony

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, orm, web-framework, testing
- domain: education, web-development, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: windows, cross-platform, dotnet
- tags: clean-architecture, sample-app, dotnet, aspnet-core, ef-core, repository-pattern, unit-of-work, course-material
