Ten Reasons to Adopt .NET 8

[@edinetgrunhed6000]

thanks

[@GavinLon]

You are very welcome! :)

[@sealkeen]

So if you used to standard C# and don't want to experience nuget package and visual studio version mismatch, don't use .Net 8 and wait until older frameworks went out support

[@GavinLon]

As programmers we cannot avoid the constant change and evolution of the technologies we use - the best we can do is keep ourselves up to date. Having said that, you can still use, as you put it, standard C#, on .NET 8.

[@fredimachadonet]

Do you mean .NET Standard?

[@sealkeen]

​@@fredimachadonet I mean that .NET Standard projects are unable to use C# 12, and you cannot create new .NET Standard libraries on C#12. .Net 8 code seems backward incompatible. You also cannot use .NET 8.1 nuget packages with Visual Studio 2022 (v17.4), only with 17.8 Update. Because of the Breaking Changes and the new "VS targets code analyzer" for .Net 8.1.

[@GavinLon]

So yes if you want to use the new features in C# 12, you'll need to upgrade relevant applications to run on .NET 8.

[@sealkeen]

​@@GavinLon Not only should we update the target framework versions, other developers without Visual Studio version .Net8 (Preview 1) will be unable to use nuget packages for .Net8 preview 1. This is a backward-compatibility breaking framework.

I think you should show your face in your videos. It seems like an a generated video.

[@GavinLon]

Thank you for your feedback. I show my face in quite a lot of my videos (please refer to some of my past videos). I certainly don't use AI to generate any of my content - and don't intend to use AI in any future videos.

@@GavinLon Your voice tune is similar to AI But great 👍🏼 video Keep up

[@GavinLon]

Thank you! Yes, there have been a few comments like that about my voice lately :)
