.NET Core revolution

.NET Core is a modular framework accessible across platforms because it is a refactored set of base class libraries (CoreFX) and Runtime (CoreCLR). Along with that you can also have your own out-of-band libraries. This is also a key characteristic of .NET Core where you may choose the package you need to deploy with your app. This means that your apps can be deployed and run in isolation and machine-wide versions of the full .NET Framework do not cause a hindrance in the running of your apps.
.NET Core can be deployed modularly and locally both, with the support by Microsoft on the Windows, Linux and Mac OSX platforms. It targets both the traditional desktop Windows as well as Windows devices and phone. .NET Core provides portability to iOS and Android devices also using third-party tools such as Xamarin.
.NET Core introduces a common layer known as the Unified Base Class Library (BCL) which sits on top of the thin layer of Runtime. The API surface area is same for .NET Core and .NET Native. There are basically two implementations: .NET Native Runtime and CoreCLR which is specific to ASP .NET 5. The majority of the APIs are the same – they just don’t seems similar only but they also share the same implementation. For example, there need not be different implementations for collections. 
.NET Core platform is a new fork of the .NET Framework which aim to provide code reusability and to maximize code sharing across all set of verticals in the framework as a whole. It is an open-source platform which accepts contributions from the open source community to achieve their goal of constant improvement and optimization.
