Detecting the Operating System in .NET Core 

The State of .Net Core Testing Today 

This 15-minute tutorial shows you how to create a basic .NET Core web application that retrieves data from the Oracle database with Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) Core.  

- The OmniSharp server has been updated to Roslyn 2.3.0, which adds support for C# 7.1
- Update debugger to run itself on .NET Core 2.0-preview2 (target app can still use .NET Core 1.x).
