This is a VS2012 project, but it opens fine and works in VS2010.

Project should run as is after initial compilation in Visual Studio. Note that NuGet packages are not shipped and NuGet Package Restore is enabled so you need to be online (or have NuGet packages cached) in order for the project to pull in all the MVC/WebAPI NuGet references.
