.NET Core Blimey!

Microsoft have done the unthinkable and open-sourced .NET, making it available on GitHub, and even taking it cross-platform. This is great news for developers, but do you know your .NET Core from your .NET Framework? Can you tell your CoreCLR from your CoreFX? And where do ASP.NET Core and the .NET CLI tools come into this story?

In this session, we’ll take a look at the big picture and dive deeply into some of the more interesting details, see how the pieces of Microsoft’s new .NET stack fit together, what it means for developers, and find out exactly how you do run a .exe on Unix.
