  1. Converting web.config files to appsettings.json with a .NET Core global tool

    In this post I describe how and why I created a .NET Core global tool to easily convert configuration stored in web.config files to the JSON format more commonly used for configuration in ASP.NET Core. tl;dr; You can install the tool by running dotnet tool install --global…

  6. Creating NuGet packages in Docker using the .NET Core CLI

    This is the next post in a series on building ASP.NET Core apps in Docker. In this post, I discuss how you can create NuGet packages when you build your app in Docker using the .NET Core CLI. There's nothing particularly different about doing this in Docker compared to…
