Since Microsoft went to Windows as a service, so since Windows 10, I fully re-install my development machine, a Surface Book, with each main release of Windows.

As I hate to lose time, I searched a way to automate it, so that it is fast, repeatable and does the work, not me.

I am just back from 2.5 months unpaid leave which I used to spend time with my family. So, I almost did not spend time with software development. One exception is that I wanted to be able to configure Visual Studio 2017 to be able to debug into ASP.NET Core 2.0 source code.

After running a first console app on my Raspberry Pi 3, I had to try ASP.NET Core and API. Two weeks ago when I posted ".NET Core console app running on Raspberry Pi", I could make API working, but I had no chance with MVC. Today it worked!

Now that there is a distribution of .NET Core on a Linux distro running on my Raspberry Pi 3, I had to try it.

In this post, I will explain all the steps I had to execute to be able to run my first Hello World application.
