I thought .Net Framework was dead... is this the final version as they shift everything to Core?
My client is still on .Net and more and more I'm finding stuff in the docs only to realise they are Core only

It gets better. .Net Core (now .Net 5) includes almost everything that was in .Net Framework, including stuff that is not cross platform compatible, which was the original goal of .Net Core.Originally posted by d000hg View PostWell that's not at all confusing

e.g. They've included WinForms as many still prefer that over the ever changing WPF/UWP 'modern' alternatives M$ keep sicking up.
Work wise, the .Net gravy train just got a new lick of paint.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
