Good request that you are making here. Sadly, there are very less guides that take Visual Studio Code into considerations and the one that do take it into consideration talk about .NET Core applications, and not the ASP.NET applications.
I am currently working on a book titled, "Considering .NET Core on Linux". The book explains about .NET Core, Visual Studio Code as the IDE for development and a bunch of subjects and concepts of .NET Core ranging from beginners to advanced level of programming in .NET Core. It might take upto a month, for me to complete and publish the book —
you can get the PDF edition, free of cost. ASP.NET 5 development has been taken to a back stage even since C# 6 and 7 features were released. But my aim is to complete the guide with everything that any .NET Core developer might want to learn, which includes ASP.NET Core (too!) and the IDE, which is Visual Studio Code.
Kindly stay tuned, while you wait, bookmark this repository of mine (
GitHub - afzaal-ahmad-zeeshan/considering-dotnet-core-on-linux[
^]), as this is where I will publish all of the source code packages that I will be using and sharing (plus explaining) in .NET Core gudie that I am writing. As I add content, I will push the changes to the GitHub repository too.
Hope you will enjoy.
On a side note, I would love to hear any further topics or subject matters that you would want me to cover in the guide (other than ASP.NET, I already have that on the list).
