Getting started with ASP.NET 5 and Visual Studio Code on a Mac

With the announcement of ASP.NET 5 and its native support for Mac and Linux, developers can now build cross-platform .NET applications with ease. By leveraging Visual Studio Code as a cross-platform development tool, developers can create and manage their projects from any operating system. The article guides readers through setting up a .NET development environment on a Mac running Yosemite, using tools like Homebrew, Node.js, and DNVM (DNX Version Manager). With the help of Yeoman, a command-line application generator, readers can scaffold console and ASP.NET MVC 6 applications with minimal configuration. The examples demonstrate how to build a simple console application that fetches Twilio call logs and a more complex ASP.NET MVC application that filters calls based on a phone number entered by the user. The article concludes by highlighting the ease of building .NET applications on a Mac or other Unix environments, encouraging readers to try running their existing applications on these platforms.
