How do you get the same template in Visual Studio Mac? (In the video Creating a project using visual studio)

I use Visual studio mac and I have been trying templates to get where he is but I can't because none of the mac templates are like this one. I cannot move forward in the course because I am getting different outputs then the person in the video. I am in the Asp.net MVC beginning course and in the video "Creating a project using Visual Studio".

I would venture to guess the issue is you are running VS 2017, where he is using VS 2015. The templates will look a bit different between the two. You will want to click the 'Web' category, then select ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework).

As to why they look different, VS 2017 introduced .NET Core this is a complete ground up rewrite of the .NET Framework. Everything used in this course will be on the traditional .NET framework.

Please let me know if i can clear anything else up. And Happy Coding! :)
