Today released CTP 5 of Visual Studio 2015

ASP.NET 5 is cross-platform and can be developed and run on Mac OS X as well as Linux and Windows. See how you can quickly install, scaffold, run, debug, and deploy ASP.NET applications on a Mac. 

we will look at some of the approaches that you can take to make optimized and better performing ASP.NET web sites. Some of these principles can also be applied to websites created in a technology other than ASP.NET.
