I never recommend up taking any MS stuff until the atleast the V2. Been programming in .net since 1.1 when i came over from java. First off - get off the marketing bandwagon. You dont need .NET core. If you want to be "prepared" for .net core eventually, u can do this by using dependency injection, and isolating all your platform specific code - ie. Never use File. Directory. directly, always wrap them in a service, ie IFileSystemService. If u want to be mostly compliant (esp with reflection), use PCL projects as they are widely used and supported and are basically core compliant. But yeh anyways, u need to be more specific as to WHY u need .NET core? My startup is using Owin + WebAPI + React, no need for ASP.NET/razor at all.
