This is an introduction to creating single and multi-targeted .NET Standard class libraries using the new "SDK-style" project system. You'll recap what .NET Standard, what problems it solves, and how to get started. Next, you'll dive into some of the new capabilities of the "SDK-style" project type, learn how to consolidate projects that need to target multiple platforms into a single project, and easily create a NuGet package for the library. Finally, you'll see how to convert an older class library into a .NET Standard library.

You will learn:

• About the .NET Standard, where it is, what it supports, and where it came from
• About multi-targeting with the new "SDK-style" projects, how and why to multi-target, and how to create NuGet packages to distribute the result
• How to convert a portable class library to a .NET Standard class library
