Is it possible to develop in .NET Core without Docker?

Question

.NET

If Windows 7 Pro is installed on the developer's machine, is it a prerequisite for developing in VS 2017 and preparing the application build on .NET Core to have Docker? Docker is mentioned everywhere in the articles, is it really impossible to do without it?
Tell us what development options exist.

Answer 1

Not necessary.
There is a project assembly - the output files of which are a compiled library, resources, etc.,
and there is a container assembly that creates a docker image and puts the result from the project assembly there.
This is in a simple version, on the fingers, so to speak.
But I would recommend installing win10 and learning how to work with it. It is not as complex as it seems, but it provides many benefits when developing a microservice architecture.

Answer 2

Nonsense! Docker is not needed to build the project, everything works fine without it.
Put the studio, create a project, press the build button, the output is a ready-made assembly that can be run from the console without any dockers, everything is simple)
Run like this: dotnet YourBuild.dll

Answer 3

um... what's the problem then?
