Documents Index
===============

This repo includes several documents that explain both high-level and low-level concepts about the .NET runtime. These are very useful for contributors, to get context that can be very difficult to acquire from just reading code.

Intro to .NET Core
==================

.NET Core is a self-contained .NET runtime and framework that implements [ECMA 335](project-docs/dotnet-standards.md). It can be (and has been) ported to multiple architectures and platforms. It supports a variety of installation options, having no specific deployment requirements itself.
