Hi Jarrod

We looking to use CockroachDB for a .Net Core Api (on .Net Core 2.0). Do you have any updates on your attempt with building a Net Core app with this yet or any concern.

Thanks

@sirajzarook, @wub, we're close to publishing C# code samples and tutorials. Should be within the next week or two. You can take an earlier look at the code samples here: https://github.com/cockroachdb/docs/pull/1991
