Yeah, got to love how Microsoft are embracing the open source - as well as the solid (pardon the pun) development methodologies and patterns that surround it.

Yeah, got to love how Microsoft are embracing the open source - as well as the solid (pardon the pun) development methodologies and patterns that surround it. I have been working with Core all year, in fact started learning C# on Core RCs (which was a bit interesting..), but it was all on Windows. Finally the other day I just spun up a Ubuntu VM in Azure and got a sample Core app from my Win10 environment at home published up and running in a few hours, as step 1 on a small idea I have. This coming from never having used Azure VMs before, and I was rusty with the SSHing / Linux as well. Not a lot of my friends would dig it, but as a relatively old timer I thought it was way cool. Microsoft code, running on Linux - definitely made my day.
