This is a .NET project which host both an API and a service (Task runner) to manage a Football database with fake data. Its used as a sandbox to try out some features of .NET Core.

The structure of the API implementation follows a classic 3-layer architecture (Presentation->Service->Data), while the service runs on a separate thread in parallel with it.

All class library projects have been migrated to .NET Standard 2.1. The API itself targets .NET 8
