Look inside

Hit the ground running with C# by rapidly prototyping a data retrieval app. As a new developer at Ground Truth Consulting, you'll build a proof of concept to streamline legislative monitoring. Tap into .NET's capabilities and set up a data access layer leveraging api.data.gov. Focus on productivity and type safety with C#'s top-level statements, and get hands-on experience querying web APIs and iterating quickly.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
