MVC example/sample

I'm trying to get my head around how to use Cocoon, so want to set up a basic example. It looks like WingTip toys is an example of a legacy ASP.NET web app - where do I go from here? I assume I create a front-end app that sit in front of the legacy WingTip Toys? Is that MvcCocoon?

Also, WingtipToys.sln / WingtipTests.csproj doesn't compile, I get:

Wingtip-Toys\WingtipTests\MessagePrincipalTests.cs(7,19,7,25): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Facade' does not exist in the namespace 'WingtipToys' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

OK, getting there. Ignoring the test project for now. I can see that MvcCocoon is the front-end and it proxies to the old WingTipToys back end. I just needed to get the the connection strings sorted for my environment.

I got the legacy app up and running on port 24019 and then ran MvcCocoon on port 44371 and can see it proxies most of its requests to the legacy app - but a few endpoints are handled by MvcCocoon directly which I can see in the title "Wingtip Toys 2" and the footer "Facade". 👍
