Hope you all are fine. Being a senior developer i always like to work/develop in any platforms. It could be either in Windows or Mac. Last couple of days, I was looking new Asp.net 5 and i was wondering to see it's feature of platform independence. Its really amazing. Now any one can develop web application using asp.net 5 inside Mac machine. I am also a proud owner of MacBook Pro :). I was thinking why not i use my Mac as a asp.net development machine. Cool, right? My plan is to cover up the followings:

• What is asp.net 5
• Prerequisite/Installation
• Free awesome editor "Visual Studio Code"
• Basic overview about Yeoman
• Creating Project and running in Mac

What is asp.net 5

According to Asp.net it is as follows:
ASP.NET 5 is a new open-source and cross-platform framework for building modern cloud-based Web applications using .NET. It built from the ground up to provide an optimized development framework for apps that are either deployed to the cloud or run on-premises. It consists of modular components with minimal overhead, so you retain flexibility while constructing your solutions. You can develop and run your ASP.NET 5 applications cross-platform on Windows, Mac and Linux. ASP.NET 5 is fully open source on GitHub. Cool... :)

Prerequisite/Installation

Before jumping into the development, we need to prepare the environment first. Also need to install couple of tools. They are listed down as follows:

• Install Mono for OS X (required by Visual Studio Code).
• Install Visual Studio Code
• Install ASP.NET 5 for Mac OS X 

What is Mono
