.NET

Omair explains .NET Core versions and components at Red Hat Summit 2017 in this lightning talk.

A lightning talk from Red Hat Summit 2017. Here is the transcription:

[00:11] I have a VM here. Let me just run the .NET command to show you. It's not there, so we're going to install .NET on RHEL. The first thing I'm going to do is become Super User, otherwise I have to type pseudo for every command and that's just a hassle.

[00:33] I'm just going to copy and paste the commands here. The point isn't that I type out every command, the point is that you see it's only a couple of commands to get it installed. The first thing I'll do is get my subscription manager attached to the correct pool of RPMs, that's the packages I pulled down.

[00:49] When you install .NET on RHEL you're getting the package from Red Hat. You're not getting it from Microsoft. We get the source code from Microsoft and then we build it to run on RHEL. Red Hat packages are, I like to say vetted. That is, we test them and make sure they work really well so you're not just pulling down software and hoping it works.

[01:12] Now I'm going to enable the repo. I've attached to it and now I have to enable it. Notice at the end where it says, "RHEL 7 Server..." There's also a work station, and there's also one for an HP [high performance] special computing thing that I'm not really familiar with. The point is you're probably going to use a RHEL server to install .NET.

[01:26] One of the cool things about the new .NET core as opposed to the old one is the new .NET is much smaller. Whereas before, when you installed .NET, you would drop in a DVD, or a CD, and wait forever for it install, and you would get 4 gigabytes of .NET. Now it's just a couple hundred megabytes.

[01:49] I'm going to YUM install this scl utils. It doesn't matter what they do. They just enable installation. Let's just leave it at that. There's nothing to do because I've done that before, but that's OK. It's better to have nothing to do than to skip the step.

[02:08] Now here's the actual install itself. I want you to notice it's just a command line and it's a YUM installed .NET core 1.1, which is version 1.1. It's going to go up to the inner webs and pull down everything it needs to install it.

[02:17] Your limiting factor here is going to be your Internet speed. Other than that, that's it for installing .NET. It really is that small and that fast. After it's installed, you have to enable it to be available in Bash. Once that's done, we'll bring it up and we'll see .NET.

[02:36] One final step here. In just a few minutes we went from not having .NET...I don't know if I can copy and paste here, bear with me.

[02:47] It's enabled. Now we should have .NET command available. There it is. We'll do a .NET new which will create a new program. The first time you do a .NET new it's going to run this little expand. That might be considered the final step of installing .NET, that's it. That's all you have to do to install .NET, that's it.

Thank you.

Hear from John Osborne, Sr. Solutions Architect, Red Hat, Harold Wong, Cloud Architect, Microsoft, and Jason Dudash, Specialist Solution Architect, Red Hat in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017 For the past several years, Microsoft's approach has been to make Linux and open source technologies first class citizens in the public cloud. Microsoft engineers participate in key open source communities. In this joint session with Red Hat and Microsoft, we'll demonstrate technologies like .NET and SQL Server running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux-based containers in OpenShift on premise and in Azure. We'll also discuss the development and operational perspectives and things like security patching and scans. https://www.redhat.com/en/summit/2017/agenda/sessions

Hear from Don Schenk, Director of Developer Experience, Red Hat and Scott Hunter, Microsoft in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017. In this session, we’ll show the evolution from a .NET application running on a server to a microservices architecture with zero-downtime deployments—including advanced techniques for optimizing performance. Join this session if you’re ready to apply your .NET skills to microservices and Linux containers. https://www.redhat.com/en/summit/2017/agenda/session

Containers: they’re all the rage. But you need to stay grounded in trusted technology such as Java and .NET. Wouldn’t it be great if someone showed an example of bringing Java and .NET and containers together? Oh, and don’t be limited to just one technology stack. Well, this is that session. I’ll be using as many technologies as we can cram into 60 minutes to show how open source brings the old and new together to make both even better. You won’t want to miss this.

The partnership between Red Hat and Microsoft brings new possibilities for application development and deployment. .NET has long been the application platform for Microsoft developers, and for the first time it is now available to Red Hat Enterprise Linux users. In this session, we'll gently introduce .NET development, showing you the primary components and how they can be used to develop applications of your own. We'll also introduce Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Microsoft Azure, and discuss the application development process and usage of the tools essential for .NET applications. You'll leave with all you need to begin writing simple .NET applications using Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Microsoft Azure.

C# is a modern, advanced general-purpose programming language and is now fully open source and supported on Linux. In this session, you'll learn how to be productive with the new, modern C# on Linux. See what it's like building high performance web workloads in ASP.NET. Learn about the tooling support available to you, including how to configure your favorite editor. Check out the improved DevOps flows enabled by the full stack app, local deployment, and native compilation. And more.

We are collaborating with Uhuru Software to bring Microsoft .NET and SQL Server capabilities to OpenShift, as an open source community-driven effort in OpenShift Origin. The demo will show the work done to date and how easy it is to deploy a .NET application with OpenShift.

You may have heard Microsoft hearts Linux.  And soon you will be able to use .NET on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. While the pieces are still being finalized we are excited to share a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at how this will work for you.
