The 5 important questions about .NET 5

​Back in 2016 Microsoft made the brave step of building a brand new .Net Core away from the classic “Full Framework” .NET. This meant they were able to hit the “Redo button” in so many ways, bringing us the modern, open-source, fast and cross-platform framework that we use today.

But now in 2020, Microsoft have delivered what they promised us in the roadmaps. The story has come full-circle with the release of .NET 5 – finally bringing us back to one .NET to rule them all.

In this talk we’ll answer the 5 important questions:

1. What will .NET 5 mean for my .NET Core projects?
2. What will .NET 5 mean for my old full-framework projects?
3. What’s new?
4. What’s coming next?
5. Will Microsoft ever get better at naming things? (Or does it make total logical sense)
