I don't think there really is a ASP.NET 5 anymore I think they renamed it ASP.NET Core. http://www.asp.net/core

I would love to see this happen. So many benefits in moving to this.

This would be awesome. I'm currently trying to migrate to Visual Studio Code. Would be great if I could debug nopCommerce there.

@AndreiMaz Can we develop the next nop 4.0 in open way.
What is the roadmap of the product?
Is there any plan to bring the solution to native app (iOS) not responsive version?

[AndreiMaz]

@XcoderTeam no, we don't plan to support native apps now (responsive design is enough out of the box). but there are some third-party native apps available on our marketplace.

4.00 will be released after 3.90. please find more details at http://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/43815/nopcommerce-390-roadmap-and-estimated-release-date-lets-discuss.aspx

Hi @AndreiMaz , we are just starting a project using NopCommerce 3.80, and we plan to maintain an upgrade path to future versions of NopCommerce. Seeing the decision to move to .NET Core for NopCommerce version 4.0. Will that be a problem for us?

[AndreiMaz]

No. There will not be any issues with upgrades

Look for an Magento alternative, but i don't want in windows. So .Net Core will be more them welcome. 👍

[bustiloo]

The .Net Core should be the way forward. Visual Studio Code + iOS, Linux or Windows

i think EF Core is the setback, it still lacks a few important features. 2.0 might solve those for nop, possibly.

Is netcore an option now?

[eadameg]

@rolandh It is on its way

[rolandh]

Is there a beta build that I can play with?

[AndreiMaz]

@rolandh it's almost done. we just need need to polish it. you can use the link provider by @eadameg to get the latest version

[rolandh]

If I pull the develop branch are the install instructions the same for installing as a netcore webapp?
