Using the latest .NET tools, you can easily run simple console applications anywhere dotnet is installed! To demonstrate, I created an ardalis CLI that you can run by just running dnx ardalis in your terminal.

Ardalis' platform is a central hub for software developers, offering insights into software architecture, design patterns, and clean coding principles. Through articles, tutorials, and podcasts, Ardalis offers insights into building maintainable and scalable software applications. Developers can learn about SOLID principles, domain-driven design, and refactoring techniques to write high-quality code and design robust software architectures.
