Are there any tutorials for this? I would love to learn more.

There are samples on the CoreRT site, which are a good place to start. I found some of their discussions useful too when finding bits to put into rd.xml, like newtonsoft.json

I'd start with the WebAPI sample and it's rd.xml file, see https://github.com/dotnet/corert/blob/master/samples/WebApi
