Setting up a build pipeline for a .NET core application

Microsoft introduced .Net Core back in 2016. It has evolved from a framework in preview to a framework that is running business-critical workloads in production. .Net core is an open source, cross-platform, high-performing framework for modern, cloud-based, internet-connected applications. While one had to handcraft build tasks for .Net core applications in its early days, the tooling has now caught up with the pace of change in .Net core. Azure DevOps Server fully supports .Net core and allows you to go from zero to DevOps in a few clicks. In this recipe, we'll learn how to set up a build pipeline for a .NET Core application that can build, unit test, and package the output as an artifact.
