In this first chapter, we went through some of the biggest changes in ASP.NET Core and .NET Core. You are introduced to some of the key concepts in .NET Core: the NuGet distribution mode, the OWIN pipeline, the hosting model, environments, the improved context, and the built-in dependency framework, which are new in ASP.NET Core 3. We also had a look at the nuget and dotnet tools, the Swiss army knife of command-line .NET development, which will be covered in more detail in Appendix 1.
In the next chapter, we will start our .NET Core journeyby exploring the configuration of an application.
