Tried ASP.NET Core with a teammate — here’s a quick hands‑on note.
Environment: VS2015 Update 2 (any edition).
- Download and install the .NET Core Runtime and SDK
https://www.microsoft.com/net/download
Grab both the .NET Core installer and the SDK, then install them (next, next, finish).
- Install the VS2015 tooling (Preview 1 at the time)
“.NET Core Tooling Preview 1 for Visual Studio 2015” https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=798481
This one takes a bit longer — wait until it finishes.
- Create a project
Open VS → New Project → Web. You should now see the ASP.NET Core templates available. Create a project and you’re set. We’ll dive into ASP.NET Core project structure next time.
