.NET, Docker, and Swarm OH MY! – Pt 1

.NET Core Project Overview- Pt 1

With Visual Studio 2015 (Core Tools 1.0.0-preview2), there were quite a few changes to the traditional Visual Studio project. Visual Studio 2017 RC 1 (Core Tools 1.0.0-preview4) introduces even more changes to this project structure.
