Hello World .Net Core console App with Visual Studio Code

In the previous posts we saw on how to create a simple Hello World console application using the dotnet CLI tools. This is fine for simple applications, when we want to build complex applications with multiple files we need a good editor to view and switch between multiple files in the project.

Deploying .Net Core using command line tools

We saw that .Net Core offers 2 types of deployment framework-dependent deployment and self-contained deployment. In the post we shall see on how to deploy a simple console applications using the command line (CLI) tools.

Let us takes the simple Hello World console application, and try to create a deployment package for the application.
