On November 16th, Microsoft announced the .NET Core Tools MSBuild"alpha". I’ve been developing .Net Core applications with Visual Studio Code for a while now, and I needed to try the new tooling. In this post I’ll show you which were my First steps with .NET Core Tools MSBuild “alpha” Installing .NET Core SDK 1.0 Preview 3 build 004056 # The first step was to install the new tools from: .NET Core SDK 1.0 Preview 3 build 004056

This week I decided to modify the sample of my previous post: Step by step: Scale ASP.NET Core with Docker Swarm so you can add TLS to your ASP.NET Core applications and Dockerize it. Let’s see how I changed the application in order to make it work: Add HTTPS support for Kestrel # I added the following line to the dependencies in the project.json file.

A few weeks ago I posted Step by step: ASP.NET Core on Docker were I showed how to build and run a Docker image with an ASP.NET Core application. Today I bring you: Step by step: Scale ASP.NET Core with Docker Swarm so you can scale out or in the same application. Assuming you have Docker 1.12 or later installed and running, follow this steps:

If you intend to use the WindowsAzure.Storage library with .Net Core you’ll hit a"compatibility wall" trying to make it work. So how can we use .Net Core to Create Azure Blob Storage SAS Keys?

Las week we discovered that some of our test would"randomly" fail depending of the time of the day. After investigating the issue we found that the culprit was that the service being tested was taking decisions based on the current system time (DateTime.Now) leading to different outcomes through the day. So how do we deal with time dependencies in tests?
