First line of the blog post: We are excited to announce the release of .NET Core 1.0, ASP.NET Core 1.0 and Entity Framework 1.0, available on Windows, OS X and Linux!
Interesting, I could swear that the first time I clicked the link it went to a product page. I never saw the blog post.
Interesting name choice considering they have already had a .Net 1.0. I mean I get it, I understand why they chose to make this more of a 1.0 release but for those already in the .Net ecosystem it seems a little confusing to me.
Excuse me if this was already obvious, but the word "core" designates a new product line, starting from 1.0. Obviously, it's informed heavily from the old .net framework, but it's not backwards compatible with it.
Overall I think it's a good move just a little confusing (unless I'm the only one) for those who have done .Net work before.

It's the first version of .NET that's cross-platform, it's the first version of .NET that's totally open source, and it's the first version of .NET that can build self-contained apps (no need to have .NET Framework installed to run .NET Core 1.0 apps). See the release notes[0] for more info. It's called "core", because it doesn't contain the Windows desktop UI toolkits, like Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Fou…
Interesting. I'm guessing it doesn't support COM interop?
Though I'm not sure it's of any value outside of Windows.
Good news! Now time for all the library and framework authors to add support for .NET Core. I know a lot of people were waiting for RTM before starting this, considering the massive changes between RC1 and RC2. I've started a support matrix project at https://anclafs.com . Feel free to file an issue or send a PR on GitHub.

Damn, I wanted to learn more so clicked Learn -> Get started with .NET Core and ... 404 Not the best start :-/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/index
I was really hoping for ARM support at least as far as RasPi goes for 1.0. But still very good news I personally love .Net it's nice to be able to use it cross platform without having to work specifically around mono.
A couple months ago I installed .NET core on a Ubuntu virtual machine running on the Windows 10 hypervisor, and was able to get a MVC5 app running using Visual Studio Code. As someone who really loves Visual Studio (it made me expect a lot more from my tools) and C# (it made me expect a lot more from my languages), it was an exciting moment. I actually took a selfie with my monitor. It was still a little rough: the "…
MVC 6 is the version that works best with Core, although they don't really refer to it directly much any more. Both MVC 6 and Web API 2 are now part of Core. They're just packages like everything else.
I'd LOVE to see some Linux web/micro benchmarks... particularly against Java, Go, Node, Python.
