.NET Core supports many different types of project templates. This week, I thought I would go through the major project templates available in version 1.0 of the .NET Core SDK, giving a brief explanation of each.

With so many official tooling options available, what's a developer to do? This week we go through some of the different tooling options that Microsoft have provided us for working in .NET Core and not all of them are Windows applications (shocking!)

Sometimes you just want to build a website with strong separation of concerns - that's where the MVC model can help. This week we build an MVC application, go through what an MVC application is (covering separation of concerns, too), where you might use one, and what some of the most important configuration options are and where to find them.

Bundling compiled code together is done in libraries. These can be DLLs (in Windows land) or so files in Unix-like OSs. This week we look at how to build a class library in .NET Core and how to reference it in a preexisting application.

Over on the Coding Blocks Slack group, Luke Warren had suggested that I write a post about the .NET Standard. Luckily for

In which my friend, all around great guy, and React guru Zac Braddy shows you how to connect to a .NET Core WebApi

In this post, I take you through how to add Entity Framework Core to a .NET Core application, how the built in .NET Core Dependency Injection system works, and how to run queries against a DbSet.

A very brief introduction to unit testing in .NET Core, how it can be achieved and what the pitfalls are.
