.NET Core: Porting a Production Web Service

Robert Hargreaves (@robertharg) will be walking us through his experience of attempting to migrate a production web service to .NET Core. We'll be exploring:

• What is .NET Core?
• Why migrate an application to .NET Core?
• Steps involved and challenges to the process
• (Most importantly) Is it production ready?

Aidan Twomey (@aidan2mey) will be giving us a lightning talk on his thoughts from reading Your code as a crime scene (https://pragprog.com/book/atcrime/your-code-as-a-crime-scene).
