A small post for today although something I think could trip others up. I'm trying out the latest WebJobs 3.0 beta which is a port of the 2.0 version with .net Core 2.0 support. This is really exciting as .net Core projects are considerably easier to work with than .net 4.x. There tends to be less magic and they're a lot more command line friendly. One issue is that in order to use the new WebJobs 3.0 library, my current ASP.net Core 1.x web applications need to be running on .net Core 2 to use it for dispatch. This hasn't been too much of a hassle, it was largely just a matter of updating the TargetFramework entry in my csproj to netcoreapp2.0 . You may also end up with a few other items to clean up after that as the netcoreapp2.0 TFM comes with some useful configurations out of the box to ensure well behaved .net 4.6 PCLs are easier to get into your projects. The one surprise I hit was that when I shipped things up to Azure App Service, I got a fairly hard error

Transit "system", Peggo glitches are free - thanks @infidelatheist Runner up articles are Winnipeg's inability to join the 21st centry on active transport and the compounding of the aforementioned digital strategy mistakes . Stop Listening to These Guys They are not technolo
