.NET 5 will be released in November, and we have compiled a list of the news we can expect.
Microsoft will release .NET 5 during the .NET Conf 2020, which will take place on November 10-12. .NET 5 is the successor of .NET 3.1, which was released late last year.
What is new for .NET 5?
.NET 5 will bring a lot of exciting new features, such as:
Uniform platform! .NET 5 is a fusion of all the best from .NET Core, .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono. Going forward, we will have one platform for everything; from mobile to development in the Cloud.
C# 9. We see many exciting new features in C# 9, and a few of the highlights are:
Records, letting us create immutable data objects in a very elegant way
Improved pattern matching, letting us continue building on the foundation from C# 8
Top-level programming, letting us write simpler code without namespaces and class declarations.
ASP.NET core 5. We also see quite a few improvements in ASP.NET 5, especially within performance and configuration. Even Blazor has been heavily improved, making it a serious alternative for writing SPA applications in JavaScript.
Entity Framework core 5 One of the biggest news here is the simplified management of many-to-many relationships.
Performance! .NET 5 contains several new improvements which give us better performance as well as less resource utilization.
We will of course keep a close eye on the development, and from November, our courses will be upgraded to include parts of .NET 5 and C# 9. Examples of these courses are:
Beginning C#
Advanced C#
C# Master Class
Beginning ASP.Net Core
Securing ASP.NET using OpenID Connect and IdentityServer
IdentityServer in Production
Anything to think about?
You should remember that Microsoft only offer 1 year of support for .NET 5. However, .NET 6, which is planned to be released in November 2021, will have 3 years of LTS (Long Term Support). Do you want to learn more about the news? Take our courses!
