Today you learned a new language and will be starting to explore it more in depth in the coming weeks. Like any good craftsman, the first thing you need is to learn your tools. Tonight, you will be setting up your developer environment, creating a simple console application, and continuing your final project.
Objectives
Set up your dev machines
Create a simple console application to ensure your machine is set up correctly
keep working through your wireframes for your capstone
Requirements
Create a simple console application that manages the dinosaurs in your amusement park

[ ] If you idea is approved start coding.
[ ] Start thinking and mapping out your ERD for your database
Adventure Mode
[ ] Your data is currently stored in a list. This list is lost everytime the program restarts. Add a database
[ ] Eventually we will be using a MVC application structure. To prepare for this, refactor your code to have all your business logic in separate class and all your console interaction in the main class.
