In this chapter, we have learned about the basics of .NET Core and how to install it from the Visual Studio 2017 installer. We have discussed the commands you must know to create, build, and run .NET Core applications from the CLI or console. Along with this, we have also discussed a couple of types of application deployment models, FDD and SCD.
Apart from the core commands, we also learned how to create, build, and publish .NET Core applications using the Visual Studio 2017 IDE. We also covered how to publish a web app to Microsoft Azure.
In the next chapter, we will discuss NuGet packages and learn how to create, publish, test, and manage them.
