Technologies used

This demo uses ASP.NET Core, Razor Pages, jQuery,Javascript, HTML, and CSS. Images and content pulled from The Simpsons API. Microsoft SQL is used to store and track page‑hit data, using the Entity Framework as well as Stored Procedures.

I built this project in Visual Studio and used AI tools to speed up coding, fix bugs, and generate cleaner Razor and JavaScript patterns.

Let me introduce myself

I’m Rich Young — an IT professional with 10+ years of experience with Database, Website, and Programming. I created this small demo project to sharpen my development abilities and grow my portfolio.

About this project

This Website pulls character data and images from the public Simpsons API . I use SQL on the backend to track page visits. Every time someone opens a character’s detail page, the hit count updates in the database and shows up on the All Characters screen. All characters and the hit count totals are listed on the All Characters Page.

This demo is built specifically for desktop, full‑screen use. No mobile layout or responsive design was implemented — the interface is meant to be viewed at standard desktop widths for the best experience.

Why I built this demo

It’s a way to practice .NET, APIs, SQL tracking, and dynamic UI updates while building portfolio‑ready projects.
