This project utilized ASP.NET MVC to "render" pages on the server and the client is given a page that reflects the servers state. To complete this assignment, I used CSHTML (a branch of HTML used in ASP.NET) and CSS to build the webpage, and C# was used on the server.
Since my WebServer (the one hosting this website) runs on a custom assembly, I wasn't able to utilize ASP.NET but the server can still perform "Active Server Pages" and the counter is now persistent across server restarts.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
HTML is used to define the general hierarchy and relationships between elements on a webpage. HTML itself, usually doesn't look very presentable and looks like a something you'd find in the 90s, so you'll need to use CSS to add color.

C# (pronounced Sea-Sharp) is an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language that was developed by Microsoft in 1999. It is designed to work with the .NET Framework, which provides a wide range of libraries and APIs for tasks such as database interaction, networking, and graphics manipulation. C# is widely used for building Windows applications, web services, and mobile apps.
I utilized C# in this project by writing ..
SQL (Structured Query Language) databases are Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMSs) that store data in a structured format using tables, rows, and columns, allowing for efficient querying and manipulation of data. Essentially, it is a spreadsheet used by applications to efficiently find, modify and store data.
Git is a Version Control System (VCS) used to track changes to a codebase over time. GitHub is a centralized Git service owned by Microsoft that lets developers easily collaborate with each other. GitHub also offers other tools for development such as Boards (named GitHub Projects), Issues and automation.
