Summary

In this chapter, you have learned how to set up your development environment to be able to work with ASP.NET Core 2.0. You have seen how to install either Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio Code.

You then created your first ASP.NET Core 2.0 web application in both development environments, and you have even built a project in Linux to showcase the cross-platform capabilities.

In the next chapter, we will talk about how to set up a continuous integration pipeline by using Visual Studio Team Services, including work items and Git branches, as well as build and release pipelines.
