An independent look at the arc of .NET

on YouTube ↗01h 03m

" summary

A clear timeline of decisions and consequences: ASP.NET and Entity Framework get rewritten, the runtime is modularized and open sourced, and Roslyn replaces old compilers; Visual Studio 2017 and tooling target spring 2017. C# keeps unchecked integer overflow behavior (watch shorts/bytes) and presenter urges preferring decimal over double for money. Recommendation is to upgrade existing apps to move to 4.6.1 first and then adopt dotnet standard 2.0 once stable; choose fast vs long‑term support tracks deliberately because releases and APIs will evolve quickly.
