Introduction

We have been in the past and still are to a certain extent a .NET shop. Thus it is very important to us that we can develop our backend using ASP.NET Web API. ASP.NET vNext is now OSS and runs equally well on Windows, Linux and Mac. Well, at least that’s what the folks at Microsoft tell us. The goal of this post is to verify that we can indeed create a RESTful backend using ASP.NET vNext on Ubuntu.

Please make sure you have also read my previous posts about setting up a Ubuntu VM.
