How this project works
Rivergate Market is an original teaching storefront in twelve complete snapshots. Clone once and run any numbered folder without rebuilding earlier stages.
The path starts with ASP.NET Core and Razor Pages, then adds routing, layouts, isolated PostgreSQL catalogs, product pages, accounts, session carts, addresses, seller-owned product CRUD, search, password reset, and production deploy notes.
Authentication uses custom session forms—no scaffold starter kits.
Snapshots 4–12 seed ada@example.com and grace@example.com with password123. Local PostgreSQL runs on host port 5449 with databases river_01–river_12.
Parts in order
Work through the parts in sequence. Each lesson explains the ideas, then points you to a runnable GitHub snapshot.
