Sitecore: How to setup a visual studio solution

To setup sitecore visual studio solution we need following steps accordingly:

1. Create a new MVC solution in Visual Studio
2. Replace or copy web.config & global.asax files from inetpub->wwwroot->"Sitecore application" folder and paste it to new MVC application created in step 1.
3. Similarly replace web.config files from View folder same as step 2 into new MVC application created in Step 1
