✅ Project organization

So coming from frotend web world where Im used to generally have a single huge project I have qouple of questions regarding code structure. From my research it seems like a lot of bigger c# projects are generally split into smaller projects linked via root .sln, often utilizing shared class libraries and whatnot. Is this the way? 😄

yeah I just ment that what it seems like c# projects split the code more into reusable bits especially when multiple platforms are involved

a lot of those projects have one or two files in them, completely unecessary

yeah separate projects are generally used when you have different build type/targets or dependencies, other than that you rely on namespaces

in a somewhat more regular and easy to understand example you have like

SomeProject.Common - Class library
SomeProject.Server - Backend app
SomeProject.Client - Frontend app

I've found myself more and more relying on --debug flags and actually shipping a fair bit of debug stuff, but I work on open source garbage hobby projects so it's fine for me
