Building .NET Developer Environment without Local Admin. Via the Command Line.
Are you a .NET developer who finds yourself in the situation of needing to work in environments without the permissions or approvals necessary to get your laptop or VDI setup to run .NET? Do you want to be able to experiment with different versions of .NET core or work with alternative IDEs like VS Code and Jet Brains Rider? Do you just want to learn how to use the windows command line to automate installing and updating all the tools you use to produce .NET applications? Then come down to our February philly.NET Meetup and Justin Dearing will show you how.
