Learn how to port .NET Framework library code to .NET Core to run across platforms and extend the scope of apps that use that code.
New goals
- .NET Core: Modular design that allows for parallel work and is geared towards cross-platform scenarios. Working in parallel means you can adopt a new .NET Core version without breaking other apps.
- ASP.NET Core: A new web framework built on top of .NET Core, providing developers with the same benefits as .NET Core.
- Universal Windows Platform: Improves the performance of Windows Store apps running on x64 and ARM machines using static compilation of .NET Native.
- .NET Core + Platform Extensions: Includes .NET Core APIs in addition to other APIs in the .NET ecosystem such as WCF, ASP.NET Core, FSharp, and Azure.
- .NET Standard + Platform Extensions: Includes .NET Standard APIs in addition to other APIs in the .NET ecosystem such as WCF, ASP.NET Core, FSharp, and Azure.
