.NET on Multiple Platforms

Finally the dream and promise of having .NET run on multiple platform has been made possible with the release of .NET Core 1.0 RTM yesterday.


.NET Core enables .NET code to be run on OS/X, Linux (including Red Hat) apart from Windows. This release and announcement is monumental since that was the basic premise of .NET which was released almost 15 years back.


Along with .NET Core 1.0, ASP.NET Core 1.0 and Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 are also released yesterday. Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 enables you to develop .NET/ASP.NET Core 1.0 applications using the familiar Visual Studio IDE.
