This pull request introduces the initial setup and documentation for the WebExpress.Tutorial.WebUI project, providing a comprehensive foundation for a tutorial application that demonstrates the UI elements of a WebExpress application. The changes include new project configuration files, extensive documentation, internationalization support, and core source files for the application and its controls.

Project setup and configuration:

• Added the solution file WebExpress.Tutorial.WebUI.sln and project files for both the main application (WebExpress.Tutorial.WebUI.App.csproj) and the UI library (WebExpress.Tutorial.WebUI.csproj). These files configure the build process, dependencies, and post-build packaging steps. [1] [2]
• Introduced a NuGet specification file (WebExpress.Tutorial.WebUI.spec) describing the package metadata, including privacy policy, license, and tags.
• Added a sample configuration file (webexpress.config.xml) for application settings such as logging, endpoints, and resource paths.

Documentation and user guidance:

• Significantly expanded the README.md to provide an overview of the WebExpress family, project advantages, installation and development guides, and a tutorial for getting started.
• Added a privacy policy (PrivacyPolicy.md) clarifying data handling and user privacy.
• Included Markdown documentation files (home.md, control.md, example.md) that introduce the tutorial, summarize available controls, and provide Markdown usage examples. [1] [2] [3]

Core application and internationalization:

• Implemented the main application entry point (Program.cs) and the application descriptor (Application.cs), establishing the structure for running and describing the tutorial app. [1] [2]
• Added internationalization files for English and German, providing localized strings for UI labels, descriptions, and metadata. [1] [2]

UI controls and models:

• Introduced a sample model class (Act.cs) to represent UI control demonstrations, including properties for name, controls, dark mode controls, descriptions, and example code.
• Added a JavaScript event logger control (eventlogger.js) for monitoring and displaying UI events, enhancing the interactivity and debuggability of the tutorial.

These changes together establish a robust foundation for the WebExpress.Tutorial.WebUI tutorial project, enabling developers to explore and learn about UI controls in a practical, well-documented environment.
