Introducing ASP.NET Core 1.0 and .NET Core 1.0

Exclusive Amazon Deals In one of the recent announcements, Microsoft has changed the name of ASP.Net 5 and .Net Core 5.

Entity Framework 7 is now Entity Framework Core 1.0 or EF Core 1.0 colloquially.

As soon as I clicked on that, a notification popped up:               I clicked on Update and noticed that check box provided for VS 2015 Update 1 was still unchecked in the newly opened window as shown below:
