ASP.NET Core Deep(er) Dive
summary
Explains how ASP.NET Core runs on either .NET Core or full .NET, the difference between portable and standalone publishes (published runtime is ~70MB on Windows, standalone app here is ~53MB), and how the host loads NuGet binaries from a shared folder. Shows command‑line workflows with net run and net watch for live reload, how the VS IISExpress launcher coordinates rebuilds, configuration supports reloadOnChange, routing can dispatch to lightweight middleware, and compatibility uses microsoft.netcore.portable.compatibility.
