Introduction To .NET CORE

Ever heard of  .NET CORE? If you're coming from a programming background, you definitely heard about it. Even if you're not coming from a programming background but have some knowledge in IT you might hear about C# or ASP.NET or even visual basic. If you guys totally new to programming or have no idea what I'm talking about here, don't worry, I will explain.

There are hundreds of programming languages out there these days. For example C, Java, C++, PHP so on and so forth. In 2002 Microsoft released .NET FRAMEWORK 1.0 with a new version of VISUAL STUDIO which is a great IDE for developing software. Later on, MICROSOFT released different versions of  .NET FRAMEWORK known as NET FRAMEWORK 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and so on.

In 2016 they released a new version of NET FRAMEWORK which is called .NET CORE which is a complete rewrite of NET FRAMEWORK. The main difference is .NET CORE is free and cross-platform whereas NET FRAMEWORK only runs on windows.
