I have a custom object called Projects. How do I create a VF page that shows all of the instances of that object?
Do I need a custom apex controller querying the database and if so what would that look like?

How many records do you have? There are limits to how many records can be returned.– Mike ChaleCommented Feb 4, 2014 at 21:52

1Agree with @Mike Chale. Also, is there a reason a list view would not suffice? Do you have a tab for this object?– Chris DuncombeCommented Feb 4, 2014 at 21:53

You should have a look at StandardSetController and any Visualforce examples that contain the recordSetVar in them.
Check http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_controller_sosc_list_views.htm for example.
By default you can achieve a list with 20 records and previous/next controls that will let you paginate through it. Anything more like more rows per page - you'd need an Apex controller extension or completely custom controller. Similar to Displaying more rows
With page annotated as <apex:page readonly="true"> you'll be able to go up to 10,000 records.
