Summary
In this chapter, you have learned about continuous integration, continuous deployment, and build and release pipelines, what the benefits are, and how to implement them using VSTS.
You have created a new VSTS subscription and initialized a new project. We then explored some of the basic concepts, such as work items and Git for source control. At the end, we illustrated how to configure a VSTS build pipeline, as well as a VSTS release pipeline, via a practical example.
In the next two chapters, we will explain the basic concepts of ASP.NET Core 2.0 including the Startup class, using middleware, routing, error handling, and many others.
