I am amazed how far .NET Core has come. I had so much trouble getting it to work 6 months ago now it is dead simple to install and get working with right away.
Disclaimer: I don't work for Cloud9, there are no referral links in my post this is not spam. I will say C9 has made it so easy to experiment with new tech. The Atom editor it uses is well known and has wonderful features like autocompletion/intellisense (I do not think it has any .NET though, although there is probably a plugin somewhere). And I like being able to blow away the whole container if something goes wrong.
Some random tips to get the most out of it (some of these may be obvious):
* Try and only code one project per each workspace.
* Try and make sure everything your app needs to run is able to be pushed up to a remote git repo (github, bitbucket, aws codecommit).
* Make it easy for people to pull down your stuff and play with it. Keep all secure credentials out of your app/configs and move them to environment variables.
* For fun try and set up CI and CD for your projects. Treat the containers like they could disappear completely one day without warning.
