+# Using dotnet with functions
+
+Make sure you downloaded and installed [dotnet](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core). Now create an empty dotnet project in the directory of your function:
+
+```bash
+dotnet new
+```
+
+By default dotnet creates a ```Program.cs``` file with a main method. To make it work with IronFunction's `fn` tool please rename it to ```func.cs```.
+Now change the code as you desire to do whatever magic you need it to do. Once done you can now create an iron function out of it.
+
+## Creating an IronFunction
+Simply run
+
+```bash
+fn init <username>/<funcname>
+```
+
+This will create the ```func.yaml``` file required by functions, which can be built by running:
+
+## Push to docker
+```bash
+fn push
+```
+
+This will create a docker image and push the image to docker.
+
+## Publishing to IronFunctions
+
+```bash
+fn routes create <app_name>
+```
+
+This creates a full path in the form of `http://<host>:<port>/r/<app_name>/<function>`
+
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+fn run
+```
+
+## Calling
+
+```bash
+fn call <app_name> <funcname>
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+curl http://<host>:<port>/r/<app_name>/<function>
+```
