First, here's a few great annoucments and little details that you might have missed during the BUILD Conferenceapalooza last week. Amidst all the Windows 10 and the Holograms, Microsoft also did these interesting things.
- Windows 10 IoT for your Raspberry PI 2
- Visual Studio Code, the new free editor for Mac, Linux, and Windows
- GitHub Extension for Visual Studio: Download on GitHub or VS Gallery, Blog
- Minecraft Mod Developer Pack: Download on GitHub or VS Gallery, Blog
- TypeScript 1.5 Beta: Download, Blog
- Developer Assistant for Visual Studio: Download, Blog
- Windows 10 Apache Cordova Platform: Download, Blog
- Office Developer Tools for VS 2013: Download
Not to mention a lot of blog posts, not the least of which being these: ScottGu, TMyerson, Soma, BHarry, ScottHa, VS team, VS Code, ALM series, .NET roll-up, ASP.NET 5 and EF 7, Azure SDK 2.6, C++, and more
But, that's not what this blog post is about. This one is about you learning ASP.NET 5. Join us LIVE every Tuesday for the ASP.NET Community Standup to start.
At BUILD this year Scott Hunter and Damian Edwards and I teamed up for two hours of ASP.NET 5 training. Those videos are up now at Channel 9 and we think they are pretty great. At the end you should have a good working understanding about what's going on with ASP.NET 5 and the DNX environment, as well as cross platform development and why. You'll also want to spend some time at our beta docs site (built with ReadTheDocs) here http://docs.asp.net and get involved.
One note about these videos. Be sure to download the HIGH-RES version as they include the split screen and let you see both the screen AND the people. The low-res ones will give you just the screen sharing.
