Why would I move to .NET Core? If I move, can I just recompile my .NET code with the new .NET Core and run it on Linux? Or is there more to it? What is .NET Core at all and what does it provide as compared to ASP.NET Core? Can I still monitor my .NET Applications the same way as in the past or is there a new approach for tracing and monitoring? And is it true that all of this is now available on GitHub as Open Source project?

Get answers to all these questions by listening to this episode where we got to talk with Christoph Neumueller @discostu105 ( https://twitter.com/discostu105 ) and Gergely Kalapos @gregkalapos ( https://twitter.com/gregkalapos ). Christoph and Gergely are two lead engineers for the Dynatrace .NET Agent technology. They are also code contributors to the .NET Open Source and other open source projects such as SuperDump ( https://github.com/Dynatrace/superdump ). Also check out their blogs ( https://www.dynatrace.com/blog/tag/net/ ) to learn more on .NET Core, ASP.NET Core and other .NET relevant performance topics.

And, if you're a Dynatrace customer, make sure to up-vote the RFE to allow hot sensor placement for .net core. ( https://answers.dynatrace.com/spaces/151/product-feedback-and-enhancement-requests/idea/183988/hot-sensor-placement-for-net.html )
