Visual Studio Code and ASP.NET v5 on Linux

I have to say i never expected I would say this words for Microsoft, but I'm completely AMAZED by what they have done. Visual Studio Code is a very powerful and multi-platform tool. There are tons of articles on how to run ASP.NET v5 on Linux and not only this, but as far as I see there is a possibility to integrate PostgreSQL, the other possibility for the moment would be to use MS SQL on a separate server.

Watch the official movie from Microsoft:



That is really impressive and not only that, have a look  at this articles:

I am sure this will be not the last that we see from this technology and that it will further develop on Linux.
