There are several open source .NET projects from Microsoft on GitHub, including
|
|
|
|
|
[ASP.NET 5](https://github.com/aspnet/home), [EntityFramework](https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework)
|
|
|
|
|
and [.NET Core 5](https://github.com/Microsoft/dotnet-corefx). Each one of these
|
|
|
|
|
projects maps to one or more [.NET NuGet package](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/p/nugetpackages.aspx)
|
|
|
|
|
that are published on [NuGet.org](http://nuget.org/). They are also many great
|
|
|
|
|
open source .NET community projects on GitHub and Codeplex, including the
|
|
|
|
|
[Mono Project](https://github.com/mono/).

## Learning about ASP.NET Core 5 and .NET Core 5
|
2014-10-31 10:20:29 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASP.NET Core 5 is a new cross-platform version of ASP.NET that is designed for
|
|
|
|
|
the cloud. It uses the .NET Core 5 runtime and framework, which runs on Windows,
|
|
|
|
|
Linux and Mac. [ASP.NET Core 5](https://github.com/aspnet/home) and
|
2014-10-31 10:23:07 +08:00
|
|
|
[.NET Core 5 libraries](https://github.com/Microsoft/dotnet-corefx) are open
|
|
|
|
|
source on GitHub. At present, only a few libraries are available on GitHub. The
|
|
|
|
|
rest of the libraries, including the base runtime, will be added in the coming
|
|
|
|
|
months.
