This mini web app demonstrates the MVC architecture in ASP.NET Core without using a database. It allows users to add and view a list of contacts (Name + Phone). The data is stored temporarily using an in-memory list, keeping things clean and fast — perfect for beginners.

✅ Folder & MVC Structure
SimpleContactBook/
├── Controllers/
│ └── ContactController.cs ← Handles requests, renders views
├── Models/
│ └── Contact.cs ← Data model (Name, Phone)
├── Views/

│ ├── Index.cshtml ← Lists all contacts
│ └── Create.cshtml ← Form to add a contact
├── wwwroot/ ← Static files (optional CSS/JS)
└── Program.cs ← Configures app and routing
MVC Breakdown:
Model: Contact.cs – defines the structure of a contact.
View: Razor Views – HTML templates with dynamic C# rendering.
Controller: ContactController.cs – business logic and routing.
