This document provides an overview of .NET Core and discusses getting started, the dotnet command line interface, apps and libraries, current frustrations, converting existing code, building for both .NET 4.5 and .NET Core, and concludes with a thank you. It recommends installing the .NET Core SDK, updating Visual Studio, using the dotnet CLI for building even when using Visual Studio, understanding how console, web, and test projects target frameworks differently than libraries, and dealing with issues like unfinished Visual Studio tooling and lack of NuGet package support for some frameworks.
