Getting started with ASP.NET 5 MVC 6 Web API & Entity Framework 7 

Today, we are announcing .NET Core 3.0 Preview 6. It includes updates for compiling assemblies for improved startup, optimizing applications for size with linker and EventPipe improvements. We’ve also released new Docker images for Alpine on ARM64. 

This is a list of some of the available Entity Framework Core extensions out there that expand the functionality of the Entity Framework Core runtime. Only libraries that extend DbContext or similar are included, and they must be published on NuGet.org.

When you build ASP.NET Core applications and you plan on running your applications on IIS you'll find that the way that Core applications work in IIS is radically different than in previous versions of ASP.NET.
