You have probably noticed by now that your empty project is not entirely empty, and does, in fact, include a couple of files:

• Program.cs: This is the entry point of the application. It loads configuration, initiates the logging framework, and more.
• Startup.cs: This is run when the web project starts. It configures the application services and requests pipeline components.
• The wwwroot folder: This folder is where all of the static assets of the application will be stored.
