In this chapter, you have learned about continuous integration, continuous deployment, and build and release pipelines, what the benefits are, and how to implement them using VSTS.
You have created a new VSTS subscription and initialized a new project. We then explored some of the basic concepts, such as work items and Git for source control. At the end, we illustrated how to configure a VSTS build pipeline, as well as a VSTS release pipeline, via a practical example.
In the next two chapters, we will explain the basic concepts of ASP.NET Core 2.0 including the Startup class, using middleware, routing, error handling, and many others.
