We already had ASP.NET MVC 5 support in Visual Studio 2013, so naming of the new web stack ASP.NET 5 is bound to create confusion. One of the major confusion that I had when announcements were made for Visual Studio 2015 preview was the difference between ASP.NET 5 and ASP.NET MVC 6. I have tried to skim fragmented information available across several blogs and websites to try and get a better understanding of the different components. This blog post tries to get a better understanding of the new components of the ASP.NET 5 web application project as well as get an understanding of the changes that have been made from ASP.NET MVC5 Project template in Visual Studio 2013. For example instead of building their open Less to CSS compiler and keeping it updated, now they enable developers to use popular open source versions of the same. Enabling the use of popular open source package managers saves Microsoft from duplicating and maintaining the rapid speed of changes and new developments that are happening on the web. In an effort to embrace open source they have made a lot of changes to to the project templates to utilize a whole bag of popular open source technologies like NPM, Grunt and Bower. Visual Studio 2015 preview brings a lot of enhancements in the editor as well as one of the significant components that ship with it is ASP.NET v5 and total change in project structure of web applications. Microsoft has changed their web project significantly to make it work across open source platforms. Along with Visual Studio Microsoft has announced that it will open source complete ASP.NET stack and make it hostable on Linux as well as Mac. Microsoft has recently released Visual Studio 2015 Preview for evaluation.
