He should have used a try...catch block to avoid that fatal error

It seems that's exactly what the king did... 
His next step will be properly disposing the object

I meant the serf that tried to warn him of an impending crash  Poor serf, not even given the decency of a using block for his disposal. Left to the garbage collector

.NET - Powerful Open Source Development[^]
Watch the 3 minute video at that link.
The video presenter creates a .NET console app on a Windows machine via VStudio Community 2015.
Then, runs it on the macOS.
It's a bit misleading though because you have to get .NET CLR running on macOS first and that isn't shown in the video.
About 15 years late
Further, the presenter knows that a lot of people will be shocked seeing a C# app run on macOS.
It's such a non-event really. I mean that was the entire promise of .NET in the beginning:
write once, run anywhere.
And it could've been done a lot earlier if the .NET CLR ran on those other platforms from the beginning of .NET. But it didn't. Instead you had run Mono or something, right?
It seems the reason you couldn't run .NET all those years ago was a political decision more than an amazing technology decision.
So, the point is, not exactly amazing.
I may have been more amazed if she had done a WinForm app and ran that on macOS. But, that's not going to happen soon is it?
And, this is the entire basis of .NET CORE!!!! Squeee!!!!
Getting .NET on MacOS Is Not Trivial
.NET - Powerful Open Source Development[^]
1. You have to first install OpenSSL -- What!?! No explanation really
2. To get OpenSSL the "easy" way they tell you to get it from Brew (Homebrew pkg installer)
3. But you have to install the homebrew pkg manager first.
4. After that, you can download & install the .NET Core SDK.
Edit (from my Mac Mini)
I went ahead and installed homebrew
Here's what I saw after it installed:
==> Cleaning up /Library/Caches/Homebrew...
==> Migrating /Library/Caches/Homebrew to /Users/<usernam>/Library/Caches/Homebre
==> Deleting /Library/Caches/Homebrew...
Already up-to-date.
==> Installation successful!
==> Homebrew has enabled anonymous aggregate user behaviour analytics.
Read the analytics documentation (and how to opt-out) here:
https://git.io/brew-analytics
Take over my machine, it's just the mac anyways. 
Edit 2
Wow, after that, there are quite a few commands to get .NET installed.
It's funny too since it's a Mac and this is the SUPER UI world that all of it is terminal commands. 
I was able to successfully follow the instructions and even run the initial test console app.
Now I have a dotnet ASP.NET core app and I'm wondering if copying it over and starting it "just works"??

You make it sound so simple, and missed the best edition of pain...
Next step: deploy that app to other peoples macs! Including the non tech savvy users and other versions of osx.
As always when 2 evil empires clash: nobody wins.
Sin tax!!!
Pressing the any key may be continuate

That's funny, because as complicated as my version sounds, you are right, it is still the simplified version.

You might want to run your .Net app self-hosted from the console[^]
The article level might be a bit below yours, but eventually you can earn something from it - Took me a while to gather all those infos.

I noticed that self-hosted choice and thought that might be the way to go. I was just trying to get this going to see how it works and see what I would get from it. From my perspective...not much.

Yet ASP.NET Core is first a complete revision of how web apps are structured and developed, and second only is the cross platform bonus.
|

Financially, running ASP.NET Core web apps in a Ubuntu Docker container can save you money (CPU cycles) compared to running your apps in a full blown Windows server VM (in Azure, AWS, etc, at least).
It also gives you the freedom to deploy anywhere, even to your own machine, regardless of the host OS.
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Now that's a good idea and a good explanation of a possible benefit that could occur.
I have a DigitialOcean droplet running Debian so if I could get an ASP.NET web app running there, I would be quite happy. Great insight. Thanks.

To be honest, I'm surprised that's not the USP they're pushing out there.
Nobody (apart from us developers) really cares what platform code is developed on, but getting the biggest bang for your dollar is going to be important to anyone running any kind of online service.

Right. I was like meh about the whole thing until you helped me connect the dots on running in a container.
I'm (hopefully) going to try it soon just to see how feasible it is and how well it'll perform on my little Debian droplet.

Good point.
That's actually the reason I was investigating this. I feel the same way about that -- that it's more of a restructuring of their web app structure and development going forward.

On Friday we lost one of Britain's greatest and most prolific actors, John Hurt, CBE.
Rest In Peace.
We will miss you Mr. Ollivander (Harry Potter), The War Doctor (Doctor Who), Kane (Alien), Quentin Crisp (The Naked Civil Servant), Winston Smith (1984), Harold Oxley (Indiana Jones) and lots of other roles.

For some reason I looked him up on my phone recently and he's been the first thing popping up when I enter Chrome for a while now...
Lots of awesome movies.
And he was still making them at 77, not bad!

After installing VS 2017 RC and using it briefly, the following comment:
This RC version is very light on resources. It is not the slow, cumbersome resource hog that we had in the 2015 Community edition. It takes up a fraction of the disk space compared to 2015 and loads faster.
XAML Styler:
I am quite impressed with this third party tool that can be installed for the 2017 version. Using it enables you to standardize aspects like indentation in XAML files in a flash. You can find it here: (There are versions available for earlier releases of VS as well.)

As it was explained by Microsoft, they broke the VS package to small pieces to make it load faster... Now a lot of things were previously loaded at the startup will be added (by you probably) as extensions and will be loaded on request...
