Project Tenjin

Project Tenjin is a wannabe social media platform designed for developers, inspired by the Japanese god of learning and scholarship. Our goal is to create a space where programmers and designers can connect, share their skills, discuss tools and frameworks, and find job opportunities.

This project is built with an ASP.NET Core Web API backend, an Angular frontend, SQL Server for data storage, Entity Framework as an ORM, and xUnit, Mock and FluentAssertions for unit testing.
