ASP.NET Core

ASP.NET Core is an open-source and cross-platform framework for building modern cloud-based internet-connected applications, such as web apps, IoT apps, and mobile backends. ASP.NET Core apps run on .NET, a free, cross-platform, and open-source application runtime. It was architected to provide an optimized development framework for apps that are deployed to the cloud or run on-premises. It consists of modular components with minimal overhead, so you retain flexibility while constructing your solutions. You can develop and run your ASP.NET Core apps cross-platform on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Learn more about ASP.NET Core. Also check out the .NET Homepage for released versions of .NET, getting started guides, and learning resources. See the Triage Process document for more information on how we handle incoming issues. Some of the best ways to contribute are to try things out, file issues, join in design conversations, and make pull-requests.
