I think I'll be moving the GA App to dot net core this year, for the teaching-myself-current-tech side of the project. I built a dot net core web site for a small business last month, and that went pretty smoothly with Visual Studio.

Now I want to get more minimalist. This morning I figured out the fewest steps to getting a Hello World console app built and running, with dot net core RC2. And I'm sure I'll have to refer back to it.

Install nodejs to get ndm.
npm install -g yo generator-aspnet
yo aspnet
Tell it to gen Console App HelloWorld

cd .\HelloWorld\
dnvm upgrade -r coreclr
dnu restore
dnx run
