.NET Framework and .NET Core

Mobile apps, 2D and 3D games, web applications and more can be developed rapidly using C#. C# is a very powerful and flexible .NET programming language.
This video is a short clip from a tutorial which provides an Introduction to C#. This clip provides an abstract overview of the .NET Core Runtime and its relationships to the .NET Framework Runtime. I hope you enjoy this short video.

[@subway394]

Thanks for the nice explanation! Exactly what I was looking for.

[@GavinLon]

It's my pleasure. I'm glad that this video has been helpful to you.

[@thomasjust2663]

Very good video, I'm surprised it's not recommeded by youtube's algorithm and I have been programing for close to a year in .net, instead I get other random videos about welding or carpentry

[@GavinLon]

Thanks for your great comment. With the release of .NET 5 this year, I think .NET is likely to gain even more popularity. I recommend checking out this video if you haven't yet seen it, kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3XFhnSYrp2aibM

[@AaronEstebanSEO]

So if I take an application that I made a few years back in VB.NET and .NET Framework and switch the compiler to .NET CORE, should that be the only thing that I'd need to get this same old program to run on MAC? Thanks for the video!

[@GavinLon]

Hi, thanks for your comment and question. Unfortunately in some cases it won’t be as simple as porting from .NET Framework to .NET core in order to get an old application to work on a Mac. For e.g. if the application type is Winforms or WPF these project types will only work on Windows platforms. It depends on the type of project you wish to port to .NET core. For more detailed information on porting from .NET framework to .NET core, please navigate to this URL, docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/porting/. I hope this helps.

[@AaronEstebanSEO]

@@GavinLon okay, thanks for this info. So then how would I get my Windows Forms Application to run on a MAC?

[@GavinLon]

​@@AaronEstebanSEO You may need to write the front end part of your application using Xamarin which is a technology specifically created for developing cross platform solutions. docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/xamarin/mac/get-started/

[@ismailmujde]

I heard that version 4 will be the last version of .net framework. From version 5 on, only .net core will be available.

[@GavinLon]

The best features of .NET Framework, Mono and .NET core will be combined into one framework with the release of .NET 5. So, yes the .NET framework as you know it will be discontinued after the release of .NET 5, but .NET 5 is a vast improvement. It is cross platform like .NET core and MONO. It will also contain most of the features of the .NET Framework. For more detail on .NET 5 please view this video that has been released by this channel, kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3XFhnSYrp2aibM

[@snehansh]

.NET only runs in Windows, does that mean if I have an ASP.NET web application, it can only be deployed on a Windows based system such as Windows Server. Web application once deployed, can be accessed from any browser on any platform. Is my understanding correct?

[@GavinLon]

.NET Framework was the first release of the .NET runtime and was released in 2002. The .NET Framework is only supported on Windows platforms. The .NET runtime is the platform on which all .NET apps run. An evolution of the .NET runtime was release in 2016 called .NET Core. This version of the .NET runtime allows .NET apps to run on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. This allows developers to develop apps on Windows, as well as Linux and Mac platforms. The .NET core runtime also enables apps to be deployed to Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. .NET framework (an earlier version of the .NET runtime), could only run on Windows platforms therefore developers could only develop their apps on Windows platforms and deploy their apps to Windows platforms. So .NET core was a significant release in 2016. So an ASP .NET web application running on .NET Core runtime can run on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. An ASP .NET application running on the .NET Framework version of the .NET runtime will only be able to run on a Windows platform. The ASP .NET web application will run on the server side so the .NET runtime doesn't have any bearing on a user being able to access a web application through their browsers. That was a very basic explanation. I hope that helps.

[@snehansh]

@@GavinLon Thanks for the explanation.

[@ex0stasis72]

"but it must be noted that [.NET Core] does not replace .NET Framework." That's all I needed to know to make me realize I want no part of it. It's my ultimate goal one day to be completely free from Windows as an OS.

[@GavinLon]

Thanks for your comment. I just wanted to clarify that you can install the .Net Core runtime on a Linux platform or a Mac platform and your .NET applications can run on these platforms no problem. You don't need the Windows OS to run .NET applications, the .NET Core runtime enables .NET applications to run on Mac and Linux platforms. For detailed information as to why the .NET Core runtime does not replace the .NET Framework runtime I recommend reading the web page at the following URL, docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/choosing-core-framework-server I hope this helps. I may do a more in-depth video on .NET Core at some point in the near future. Also, I recommend viewing the video at this location, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKHUpoSDiL6ebMU, where at the end of the video I demonstrate running a very basic .NET application on a Mac platform.

[@ex0stasis72]

@@GavinLon Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'm still weighing out the pros and cons between .NET Core and Node.js (with TypeScript because I prefer strongly typed languages). It seems like if I want to work at a small business, I should choose Node.js and, for a large corporation, .NET Core. But perhaps that could change in the near future.

[@ksallinone8629]

Why background music?

[@GavinLon]

The background music here has been included to enhance the video, but I understand that music appreciation is highly subjective and not everyone will appreciated it. This video is a clip from my "Introduction to C#" video (the location of this video is included in the description). The original video content does not contain background music.
