Url shortener excercise similar to tinyUrl and other services
Use case: take a long url and shorten it to an 8 character alphanumeric string [a-z] [0-9]
SqlClient Dapper
create a mssqlserver database called "UrlShortener" and add the connection string in the appsettings.json file
It may be nescesary to do a .net restore in the console as I renamed the project at one point
